These earrings showcase the chain used in my Bare Bones earrings and necklaces, stripped down to its essentials. Each link of the chain was hand-shaped by me in my Connecticut studio and move independently. The earrings are tactile, kinetic, full of movement. The pink tourmaline beads are new old stock and gemstone quality (which means that they have deep, saturated color and high clarity).
I use only argentium sterling silver for my ear wires and the other silver elements in my jewelry. Argentium sterling silver is a hypoallergenic alloy of silver using only recycled silver. It contains more pure silver than ordinary sterling (94%, vs. a minimum of 92% for other sterling). It contains no nickel. It is very durable, and unlike ordinary sterling silver, it is tarnish-resistant.
