Kikyo Silhouette Earrings - 2024 hand cut sterling silver and pearl

These earrings were hand cut from sterling silver sheet. I have added a glowing white pearl in a bezel setting. The flower design is based on the kikyo, or Japanese bellflower.

Earrings measure approximately 2 inches long and are 1 1/4 inches across at their 2024 widest point. The silver has been given a lovely black patina and then buffed back with a steel brush for an organic scratched surface.
