Filigree Shield Earrings
Solid Sterling Silver
These delightful Shield earrings have a light, airy feel from the delicate filigree. The original pieces were meticulously cut out and hand engraved, then molded and reproduced through lost-wax-casting. Neil then hand-finished each piece individually and oxidized them to bring out the lines.
The design is classical, inspired both by renaissance and baroque decorations. Having just the right proportions of reflective surface, darkened lines, and filigree, they are quite attractive when worn and invite a closer look. The Shield earrings are solid sterling silver with silver ear-wires. The overall length is 1½" (38mm).
