New Stud Earrings - Copper & Sterling Silver


I'm currently teaching myself to solder. I love soldering, in fact I love anything that involves using a torch and bits of metal

I recently learnt how to solder on earring posts (I've only melted two so far!) which means I can now make stud earrings

So I did and here they are.......
Quite simple designs : torched silver sheet that I hammered, sanded and stamped and copper discs hammered, domed and stamped



Soldered and enamelled stud earrings coming soon too. I recently made some enamelled stud earrings and used G.L.U.E. to stick the posts on. Not a good idea. I wish I hadn't ignored the little voice in my head that said "are you sure you really want to use glue?"
More of that tale soon :D
