THIS LISTING IS ONLY FOR A PAIR OF EARRINGS!
Arrow Head 1⅛” x ¾”
Reticulation is controlled chaos a silversmithing technique in which the metal is heated to the precise threshold where the surface begins to flow and wrinkle while the interior remains solid, producing a topographic landscape of ridges, valleys, and movement that no two pieces ever replicate. The arrowhead plates on these earrings were made that way hand-reticulated in .925 sterling silver, each surface a unique terrain of flowing lines and oxidized depth that catches light differently at every angle, that rewards the close look and the touch in equal measure.
At the base of each arrowhead a small round green Kingman turquoise cabochon sits in a clean bezel vivid lime and sage green, perfectly matched, a single point of saturated color against the complex silver landscape above it. The combination is entirely deliberate ancient form, ancient material, made new by hands in Taos. The arrowhead is one of the oldest human forms, carried across cultures and millennia as both tool and symbol. Here it is made in silver and set with the green turquoise that comes rarely from the same Arizona mine that has been worked for over a thousand years.
Sterling shepherd hooks complete the earrings with easy natural movement. At 1⅛” x ¾” these wear with the quiet authority of pieces that carry real craft the kind that people lean in to examine and cannot quite explain why they cannot stop looking.
