This is a beautiful pair of my sterling silver and lampwork Subtle Patriot earrings. I am a lampworker and metalsmith, all my lampwork beads are carefully inspected of annealing overnight in my Paragon kiln.

These are on standard sterling silver ball posts. I have hand finished the ball posts and wire to give these a brushed aluminum look. They are accented with my wirework, high grade copper plated pewter, and tiny 4mm opal white swarovski crystals. The lampwork beads have red, white, blue and just a hint of goldstone for sparkle.

Sometimes you want to wear patriotic colors but not look like you’re intending to wear a two foot beehive with little paper flags stuck in it, y’know? Subtle is good, I like subtle.

Sizes in pictures can be deceiving so please do pay attention to the measurements below.

From the top of the french hook earwires to the tip of the kanji pendant these earrings are 29 mm (just shy of 1 and 1/4 inches) long. These are so light you won’t even know you’re wearing them!

All of my metal components are coated with Renaissance Wax to seal the metal and insure it’s lasting beauty.
