Faceted Black Spinel Earrings with Granulated Reticulation Silver

A dramatic silhouette, a bold contrast, and intricate texture make these earrings true showstoppers. Deep black faceted spinels are framed in marquise-shaped drops, surrounded by textured reticulation silver and my signature granulation work. I melted down silver into an ingot, rolled it out, and reticulated it by hand to create those molten-like textures, then carefully framed and patterned each component, adding bubbles and granules in a constellation-like scatter.

These earrings are individually constructed as mirrored pairs, with left/right ear wire orientation to ensure they face forward beautifully when worn, making for a much stronger visual impact.

Black spinel is a grounding and protective stone, often associated with resilience and empowerment. It’s said to help clear negativity, promote self-confidence, and energize physical and mental stamina.
