Faceted Sapphire Earrings with Layered Chain

These faceted sapphire earrings feature layered chain links in varying sizes hanging from the stone. Hammered details leave a soft organic feel. (These earrings are a bit heavier than some of the other designs. They have a bigger stone and thicker chain than the peach moonstone ones. Because the weight is at the top they don’t feel overly heavy but are not recommended for sensitive ears )

Sterling silver with patina and a satin finish.
Approximately 3.25 inches long, and 0.75 inches wide.

This collection is all about trying something new and fresh. I wanted to work in a new way and to create a collection that was more open and organic than some of my previous work. I wanted the items in this collection to have a big impact but also have lightness and movement. Once I got going I was really able to find my flow with these pieces. I worked in a very intuitive way with no plans, just the stones that I wanted to use and an idea about using “chain links”. A few unexpected design elements emerged as I played with different components. Some of the designs came to me quickly and a few of them were a mystery until the very end. I was able to push myself but still stay true to my aesthetic of powerful and strong designs. I am really proud of this mini collection and I hope you enjoy these treasures as much as I do.

Each piece of jewelry from Midnight Pacific Studio is handmade by me in my home studio on the Oregon Coast. Thanks for following along :-)
