Based on the Boy Scout tenderfoot badge, these earrings were pierced from 26 gauge Sterling silver sheet. After piercing, they were dapped to slightly curve the entire flower. Then fine silver posts were soldered to the back of each flower to complete the fabrication. The pieces were then pickled, burnished and polished. This project was completed in one evening session in the shop, but they were very fun to make.
