Granulated "Heart" Stud Earrings

Tiny argentium silver studs are made by fusing silver beads together (a process called granulation) on a fire brick, which creates an interesting texture from the slight melting of the metal during the process.

The three beads fused together remind me of a heart shape. They're lovely as a simple stud on their own, or as an accent to your main earring (see alt photo).

Approximately 1/3" in diameter. Argentium (.940) silver with sterling silver posts and butterfly backs.
