If bright and shiny isn't your cup of tea, how about these?
Made from scratch from a sheet of sterling silver, these have been folded, hammered and shaped, and come finished with handmade sterling silver hooks.
Once the shapes were finished, I applied 24 karat gold using a technique called keum-boo where gold is fused to silver. Finally, I applied a dark patina which adheres to silver but does not affect the gold. The result is an original pair of earrings with an elegant shape, timeless elegance and subtle shine of the gold against the dark silver.

Care
Avoid contact with chemicals and cosmetics, as they may leave hard to remove stains. Gently refresh by wiping with a soft damp cloth and dry before storing. If needed, you may use a jewellery polishing cloth - extremely gently as not to remove the black patina.
To ensure your jewellery looks its best for year to come, put it on last after applying all cosmetic products and perfumes, and take it off first before heading into shower. Best to take off jewellery when engaging in strenuous exercise, bathing/swimming and particularly hot tub, sleeping. Store jewellery after cleaning in a dry place away from dust, excess humidity and direct sunlight - prolonged exposure may cause some stones to fade over time. Best keeping individual items in a protective pouch to prevent scratches.
