Pinch Fold Formed Sterling Silver Dome Earrings

These pinch-fold playful and modern beauties draw attention with subtle charms. A closer look reveals the detail of how the raised ridge of metal imitates gentle folds of fabric - for a look that combines rigidity of sterling with the drape of silk. I usually keep a few of this style in stock so check if the MTO status is intimidating. The last time I made them I experimented with brass, which turned out pretty nice. Let me know if you'd like to try the brass version via a convo. As a made to order item, these earrings are offered in two sizes: 3/4 inch discs or 1 inch discs. I will craft your earrings within 7-10 days of your order. This pinch fold technique is a method of fold forming thin sheet metal into three dimensional forms. It is time consuming and often leaves me with blisters on my left thumb! Even though the technique is the same for each pair of earrings, the pinch fold itself is a bit unpredictable, therefore no two pair of earrings will be alike. That's the beauty of hand crafted jewelry! The domed shape catches light from all angles. These earrings evolve in their shapely expression throughout the day depending on the light. Sun up to sunset these offer a million different opportunities to be lovely. These are my go-to earrings, as the simple metal compliments any outfit of the day. The fine gauge metal creates a lightweight earring, without ear strain or discomfort. 

Lynde Howe Silverworks takes pride in crafting timeless, high-quality wearable art that can be passed down for generations. Each piece is carefully "wear tested" to ensure both comfort and exceptional design. Traditional metalsmithing techniques, including forging, forming, and soldering, are used to create each handmade creation. From start to finish, I put my heart and soul into every item, often using recycled materials to add an extra touch of sustainability. While each piece is unique, I occasionally offer small collections of similar designs. My signature mark is a symbol of my passion and dedication to handcrafting each piece. Please note that handmade items may have slight variations or imperfections, but that only adds character and charm to the finished product. With time, sterling silver may develop a natural patina, which I believe only adds to the beauty and texture of the piece. To maintain its shine, a gentle polish with a cloth is recommended. As a special touch, I include a polishing pad with every order.
