Handmade Sterling Silver Bones Earrings - Nickel Free - Shown with Black Onyx

These earrings can be made with black onyx or amethyst. If you are looking for a certain stone just let me know, I may be able to track it down! ✽✽✽ How are they made? ✽✽✽ When I'm making these earrings, the are first created in wax. The second step is to make a mold of the wax, (this way I can make more). Once the wax is ready, it's set in plaster. After the plaster cures, the wax is burned out in a kiln. The last part is my favorite: I get to start up the torch and heat the silver until it is molten!! The process takes place on a machine that provides a spinning motion, injecting the molten metal into the plaster casting. (Dentists actually use this process to make crowns for teeth as well). When the rough work is done I have some clean-up work to do. Then its time to give them a bit of oxidation to show off the texture. ✽✽ The Specs ✽✽ Overall: 1/2" wide (12.6mm).
