Rough Silk Drop Earrings - Silver

Reminding me of rough silk, the texture on these earrings is so simple and clean.  Surely a classic at its finest! Details: 5/8" diameter fine silver discs hang from sterling silver ear wires.  Each earring measures one inch from the top of the hook to the bottom of the drop. Each drop is textured with a rough silk-inspired pattern made using roll printing techniques.  They are given a slight curve to highlight the pattern.  Each pair of earrings has a slightly different imprint based on the exact positioning of the metal on the textured surface while being rolled. After forming, the drops are darkened and the patina on the raised areas removed to give them a beautiful depth and interest.  They are then polished to a beautiful shine and given a wax protective coating to help maintain the finish. Fine silver, also known as .999 silver, is comprised of 99.9% pure silver.  Sterling silver, or .925 silver, is made from 92.5% silver with the remaining 7.5% being other metals,
