Silver Arrow Stamped Earrings

Silver Arrow Stamped Earrings

I love rustic silver. I want it aged to look as if it has been well worn and loved for years upon years, passed down through generations. I've created this appearance for the Silver Arrow earrings. They look as if the elements have made their mark upon them. Petal shapes have been hand sawed from sterling silver sheet metal. I've stamped and textured even the sides of the metal by hand for detail. One gorgeous turquoise bead accents each petal. A patina has been applied and then hand sanded for the final touch to these gorgeously rustic earrings. The design is highlighted with rustic copper decorative rivets. Wonderfully Southwestern!
These are pierced earrings with sterling ear wires. 

Care Instructions:
The silver has been oxidized to create the dark finish. To preserve this, remove when showering and swimming, and do not use any tarnish removers or polishing cloth on darkened areas. 
 
How To Care for Your Turquoise:
Handle your turquoise jewelry carefully to avoid scratching the stones. Don't store turquoise jewelry with harder gemstones or other materials that might rub against the turquoise and cause damage. Keep turquoise away from high heat and chemicals such as oils, perfumes, and household cleaners. Clean turquoise in warm, sudsy water and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using commercial jewelry cleansers.
