Handmade using solid sterling silver, these forget me not stud earrings have been created from my own original hand sculpted original design. They are the perfect sized earring to wear everyday.
Forget Me Not flowers have the most delicate little blooms yet they hold a secret, deeper meaning. These tiny blue flowers have been used to symbolize true and faithful love, long-lasting connection, remembrance and memory. If you choose to wear these earrings yourself, just because they are beautiful or give them away as a gift, they are a really thoughtful and subtle way to cherish the memory of someone special.

Forget Me Not Studs
♢ Solid sterling silver
♢ The delicate flower in bloom is created using sterling silver metal clay, which is made up of tiny recycled sterling silver metal particles mixed with and organic clay like binder. It can be sculpted, molded, and formed however I want. To create my unique forget me not flower I hand sculpted each petal, carving in and adding details. After the design dries 100% into my kiln it goes for a two-part firing process. The clay reaches 1500℉ for about an hour and the organic binder burns completely away leaving tiny sterling silver sculpture. I used my original handmade flower to create a little mold, which I then hand press more clay into to create a perfect matching pair for earrings and pendants.
♢ These are stud earrings, they include solid sterling silver butterfly backing to hold the earrings in place.
♢ To bring out all those gorgeous little details I applied a dark patina to the recessed areas. The contrast between the bright shiny silver and the dark details is what sterling silver is famous for!
