Fragments is an exploration of what happens when scraps, remnants, precious stones, and collected bits are allowed to become something entirely new. Each pair is built intuitively from fused scrap silver and whatever catches my eye at the bench. This pairing brings together sky blue topaz, color-change alexandrite, pearls, and vintage rhinestones in oxidized sterling silver, with all the marks, texture, and evidence of the hand left very much intact. These earrings embrace the beauty of accumulation and the unexpected connections that happen at the bench.

• Faceted sky blue topaz, color change alexandrite, pearls, and vintage rhinestone chain fragment. The alexandrite changes color from olive green to deep pink depending on the light source. (see photos)
• The blue topaz earring is 1 1/2" long and 3/4" wide, while the alexandrite is just shy of 2" long and 3/4" wide. Sterling silver posts with large comfort backs for secure placement.
• Oxidized recycled sterling with 14k gold filled tag. The oxidized silver has been hand waxed to deepen and protect the patina while giving it an oiled bronze feel. 
• One of a kind and ready to ship! Made to be worn, cherished, and shaped by your own story.

What is oxidized silver?

Oxidized silver is created by a chemical reaction. Each oxidized piece is protected with a museum quality restorative wax. This allows for depth and shine while creating a light barrier from skin oils and other chemicals that will cause the patina to lighten more rapidly. However, even with this protective wax, you can expect that your piece of jewelry will brighten over time with wear. The darkness will hold in small crevices and areas having tool marks. Rings and necklaces that touch the skin for prolonged periods are more prone to lightening than earrings. Over time your piece will develop it’s own personality and unique patina that I hope you fall in love with. Should you ever wish to darken your piece and bring it back to its original patina, I’m happy to do this for you at no charge other than shipping or provide you with a patina kit and instructions for a nominal fee.
Is recycled gold less valuable?

When you see the term recycled gold, what comes to mind? Some people imagine scraps or lower-quality metal, but the truth is: recycled gold is real gold. Just like water can be purified and reused, gold can be refined and reworked—again and again—without ever losing its value or purity. For more in depth information read my blog post.
How do I care for my jewelry?
  • To prolong the original look of your jewelry, storing your piece of jewelry in a sealed plastic container or baggie.
  • Each piece of jewelry is shipped with a mini polishing cloth. However, a polishing cloth should not be used on oxidized silver.

Do you ship internationally?

Although this isn't an offering on my website due the continually rising shipping costs, I do try to accommodate international shipping requests. Please contact me and include your full shipping address for a quote. Insurance is required and the full amount of the piece will be noted on the customs declaration form. Please not that your country may add a duty tax and I recommend looking into this prior to purchase.
