August Gold Stud Earrings | #2

I have plucked a handful of sterling silver flowers with droplets of August sunshine just for you! 

These earrings feature layered sterling flowers, carefully sawn, shaped, and hand textured. They have warm brass centers and sit atop sterling studs. 

Accompanying the flower studs are sweet droplets of the most liquidy citrine I had in my gemstone cabinet.  

Faceted to drink the light and spill it outwards. 

The gemstone component are made to be worn either on the backs or front of the earlobe, or the flowers alone, whatever you prefer!

☀ Made with sterling silver posts and butterfly backs.
Rubber earring back are available upon request if you prefer those.

☀ This piece is part of the Honeybee Collection, which features rich, glowing honey-colored citrine gemstones, real leaf print, honeybee silhouettes, red brass pollen granules, and regal crown bezels. See the Honeybee Collection section for more one of a kind pieces!   
 
☀ Keep in mind that some of these citrines have some surface fissures, pits, and crackles where the inner textures touch the surface. These stones are very organic and natural. Which, I think adds to their charm! But be sure to look at all photos prior to purchase.

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
