Bars vs Drop Earrings

During my latest making session, I wanted to create a collection of sleek and elegant earrings

If you have been following my metal smithing journey, you will know I have experimenting and playing around with different techniques and ideas

During my last making session, I decided I wanted to go back to basics, and create a collection of simple, sleek elegant sterling silver earrings.

I came up with the design of a small bar sterling silver studs:

I really loved how they came out, and so I started playing around with different lengths and textures:

Handmade Sterling silver bars and drop earrings

This lead me to think about the logistics of how the earrings would hang on the ear, bar earrings would have design constraint in terms of length practicalities,

One design I came up with to allow me to create a longer length T Bar earring was to add a curbe that follows the natural line of the ear:

Handmade Sterling silver curved Tbar earrings

I really love this design, but there will always be a limit to the length of the earrings.

As a solution I came up with drops earrings:

Handmade Sterling silver Textured Drop Earrings

These will form part of my collection of Handmade Sterling Silver Stud Collection, when I have added them to the website later this week.

What do you think?

Keep reading my metal smithing blog series to see what else I come up with.
