Two crumpled sterling silver leaves make up these statement drop earrings. Each leaf is long and narrow, with rippled edges, a brushed matte surface and bright polished rims. A gold plated wire curl lies over the silver, so these two-tone earrings show one warm line of gold against white silver.

These asymmetrical earrings differ on purpose. The two leaves have different outlines, and the gold curls bend in different ways. On one earring the wire runs down the leaf and finishes in a loop, and on the other it crosses the lower half in one arc. The metal is creased and folded by hand like a small sculpture, so these are sculptural earrings in the literal sense: unique earrings whose design lives in the shape of the silver, not in a stone.

We forge these handmade 925 sterling silver earrings in our workshop in Türkiye and gold plate the curl. They weigh about 12 grams for the pair. Each leaf is held on a post, so the sterling silver post earrings wear like stud drop earrings and stay still below the earlobe.

Because they combine silver and gold, these mixed metal earrings sit as easily next to a gold chain as next to silver rings. They are designer earrings for women who prefer a clear idea to sparkle, and a considered gift for her or for mom. Other shapes that fall below the lobe are in our drop earrings collection, and pieces with no stones at all are in the no-stone jewelry collection.
