Sweet violet studs, individually cut, shaped & enamelled fine silver flower earrings

The sweet violet is traditionally the real flower for Valentines Day. Saint Valentine was a Roman priest. He was executed for marrying Christians. When he was in prison, he wrote a letter to his lover with ink from the violets growing outside his cell.

Each flower is hand cut, shaped and enamelled by hand with care and attention to detail.
These little creations are all slightly different, due to the hand crafted techniques used.
The enamel reacts to the slightest of changes in the process of the crafting. This gives each flower a unique charm, with subtle flares of colour and changes in the texture of the silver. Each piece ends up a bit of a surprise, just as nature intends.
The violet flower is about 13mm wide and 14mm tall.
Made with fine silver and glass enamel. Fine silver is as pure as silver gets, it is not quite as hard as sterling, but strong enough for earrings which don’t get the rough wear a ring does.
The ear posts are sterling silver.
