"Rhombus 2"....modern steel, 24K gold, silver lever back earringsFlattering rhombus shapes cut from steel are accented with 24K gold applied in the ancient technique of Keum Boo. The etched pattern accentuates the design lines of the earrings themselves. Sterling silver lever back ear wires. Super lightweight! As is true of all of my work, I have signed these on the reverse side and included an inscription of the metals used as well. 2" in length, 3 4" in width

Somewhat oval shapes formed from steel flattened wire hang from domed circles with a gorgeous etched texture

The pendant measures 1 3/4" in length and 2 1/8" in width

Long ear wires are hand made and with their angled lines and balled ends

two design principles I feel strongly about incorporating into my work

The designs from this grouping have gorgeous one-of-a-kind etched textures which give them incredible depth and dimension

The piece is then carefully and thoroughly cleaned by both scrubbing as well as pickling (immersing in an acidic cleaning solution kept warm in a crock pot)

copper and sterling silver play together beautifully in this geometric design

Once I add patina the interplay of patterns

Oxidized squares and bright and shiny slender rectangles combine in these fun sterling silver dangle earrings

The etched shapes in 24K gold create a one of a kind pattern and are a nice contrast set against the oxidized sterling silver background

Look for the other pair in a separate listing

So many of my favorite techniques as well as materials play together beautifully in these dimensional earrings
