Handmade Sycamore Seed Silver Studs

Nature captured in silver.

These tiny helicopter seeds come from the sycamore tree in front of my (now previous) apartment. I picked it up in late spring (which is why they are so tiny) and painted layer upon layer of pure silver on it until it got the right thickness and texture. During the kiln firing the seed pot burns off completely and leaves a shiny silver imprint behind. These studs are very light weight and comfortable to wear. 

What's special about them: 

Because the way they are made, they are inverted - like a mirrored imprint of the seed, which is very unusual. The organic edges  around the seeds are smooth and highly polished to give them a more refined and finished look.

As always this earrings are entirely handcrafted with recycled fine silver and sterling silver. The seeds are about 1cm big.

They come lovingly gift wrapped in a box and an organza pouch. I'm posting with Royal Mail tracked first class. International shipping is available.
