Mixed metal Earrings
I just made this pair of earrings this morning.
They are made from Nickel-silver with a hand hammered texture, with little pieces of copper and brass with a different hammered texture, attached by silver solder. The wires are surgical stainless steel with copper detail.
Hard to photograph to show the colours nicely. Might look better when slightly tarnished? I think I might give them an antiquing process and see how they come out.
By the way , yesterday I worked out how to silver solder stainless steel, so look out for stainless steel jewellery soon.
