Sterling Silver Bell Flower Earrings
I really enjoyed making these earrings and have been wearing them every day since. They have lots of movement as the bell flowers and dangles are not fixed to the earwires.
I cut the flowers out from sterling silver sheet and then spent ages filing, sanding and polishing and for a final polish, I put them in my tumbler. Now they are really smooth and shiny.
I shall definitely be making more of these.

Oooh! those might be my favorites yet! I love them. Let me know when you make more, I'm going to order some!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely to hear Janice, glad you like them so much you are tempted to buy some. This pair are definitely mine as I haven't stopped wearing them since I made them but I promise I will be making some more and listing them in my Etsy shop. I'll let you know when I do.

Hi Janice - just to let you know, I have just listed a smaller version of my Bell Flower earrings in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/154619472/sterling-silver-earrings-little-bell If you want a bigger pair, like mine, which measure 0.9cm wide by 3.5cm long, I could do you a custom-made pair for the same price. Just let me know.

Kristen, These really are beautiful! So delicate. Very creative to allow them to have movement. It has to have taken a lot of sanding and filing to achieve the final smooth look. You have taken to metal smithing like a champ. I do hope you will think of a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you Christine, I hope you are well. Yes, you're right it took a long time to achieve this finish but I did most of it whilst watching the telly and it was very satisfying to see the results of my efforts. I'm not sure about a tutorial as my focus at the moment is on learning and practising new techniques but I might still consider it some time in the future. Thank you so much for your great feedback.
