Erwin Schrödinger Necklace & Steam Punk Penny Ear Wears

Erwin Schrödinger Necklace



I have decided to re-name this exceptional necklace from the Hienrich Hertz to the Erwin Schrödinger since Erwin was born in 1887 and he 'coined' the term Entanglement (which I just learned from reading Amir D. Aczel "Entanglement: the Greatest Mystery In Physics" for the second time). Heinrich Hertz was the man credited for the first experimental proof and use of Radio Waves, about the same year of 1887. Here my pretty young model wears the necklace:


My Pretty Model is seen here wearing the set of Steam Punk Pennies ear wears with the British Half Pence (SOHO Minted with Boulton & Watt Steam Engine Powered Coin Presses) coins dated 1806 and 1807. The wire is pure Sterling Silver as are the silver beads and the ear wires. The other beads are Czech Glass Skull Beads. 


By the way, if you CLICK on these photos you will get a BIGGER version of them.

US Hand Crafted Coin Earrings

I have been working on a few different packaging ideas for my newly created set of Handcrafted in USA Earwear based around nice Liberty Head US Nickels. Have settled on a CD size package / sleeve to mount the earwear in, will post pics soon. These ear wears are made of 20G sterling silver wire and some of them with 22G German manufactured  'silver filled' wire (which is sterling silver bonded to a copper core) with various beads and sterling silver ear-wires or custom made ear-wires of the german silver filled 22G wire. Below are a few pictures of the work, hope to see you in these creations :)
