Garnet Braided Tree of Life Dangle Earrings in Solid Sterling Silver

These stunning earrings were handcrafted by me over many many hours of meticulous work where I blended the art if metal smithing/silver smithing and wire wrapping.

My process of making these earrings started off with making the base using silver smithing techniques where I made and soldered the frame/the bezel for the stone to sit, I then made the tree of life using wire wrapping and braided the stem for a unique look that I absolutely love. I then soldered the wire from the tree to the base and attached the solid sterling silver chain dangles on each of the earrings, the metal used in these is high quality .925 solid sterling silver that I oxidized and polished for a darker antiqued look. The stones used are genuine garnet gemstones, they are smooth flat back cabochons that are 11mm. 

Earring Dimensions: 1.10in wide x 2.44 in from top to bottom from where they sit in the ear.
