Mini Sterling Silver Sculptures For The Ear

TINY STERLING SCULPTURES

TO WEAR, OF COURSE

(ON YOUR EAR LOBES)

These Simple Silver designs are just sterling silver, nothing more or less..
Wire is in 20 gauge which is a standard gauge that fits the most normal of ear piercing size...
The wire is US made & purchased through EBAY from H. Schmidt & Sons of New Orleans.

I spend time hand-buffing these pieces on the old Sunshine Polish Cloth..
Hand buffing makes the silver glow & gleam like liquid quicksilver...
I have just recently ordered 6 more Sunshine Polish Cloths...how exciting is THAT!!!

A Few New Medieval Silver / Simple Sterling Silver Designs

SIMPLE STERLING SILVER 

HAND HAMMERED 20 GAUGE (STANDARD GAUGE)

"SPIRAL TRIANGLES"

Hammered these recently as I now have a Bench Block and a Chasing Hammer!! 

What fun it's been to hammer and buff a recently acquired ounce of Sterling Silver in 20 gauge ...

I have not made my way through the whole ounce yet, it's about 19 feet of wire ...

These Hammered Spiral Triangles required about 9.5 inches for each dangle and ...

About 2.75 inches for each custom ear wire.

These are listed for sale at my ETSY shoppe!! 

Buy em before someone else does!!!

MEDIEVAL SILVER

LONG CROSS PENNIES 1247-1279

These genuine medieval silver penny halves were purchased through a dealer in Nottingham, England...

I got a good deal on these, as they were probably dug out of the ground at some point..

These may have been metal detector finds - no "storied pedigree" came with em'!

Were tarnished & dirty so I have hand-buffed to bring out shine...

Hung on custom bent & buffed Sterling Silver Ear Wire 22G (a little finer than 20G)...

Custom Packaged in cute gift box!

(These are NOT listed on my ETSY shop if your interested)

ARE THESE NEATO ENOUGH???
SERIOUSLY, MEDIEVAL SILVER - HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

IN A CUSTOM GIFT BOX OF COURSE!!!

HAMMERED STERLING IN 22G

This is the very first pair I hammered on my newly acquired bench block
