These earrings were built of over 20 metres of sterling and fine wires and over 9 hours of work. They were created from scratch: a double frame (1,2mm wire) was soldered, hammered and then wrapped with a 0,8mm wire. This wire was also wrapped with a double 0,4mm wire wrapped (yes, again) with a hair-thin 0,25mm wire. The earrings were oxidised to make the intricate coils stand out nicely.
Dimensions of earrings: 5cm x 1,3cm x 3,5cm
The earrings are of the heavier kind but getting used to their weight shouldn't be a problem.
