Green Aventurine Drop Earrings

Stunning mismatched pair of silver-plated electroformed Green Aventurine crystal earrings, handmade by Amanda in her little home studio in Sydney.

The earrings are 32mm and 29mm from the top of the sterling silver hook to the bottom of the crystal. The earrings come packaged in an earring box and a lovely canvas drawstring pouch.

About Electroforming: Electroforming is a process in which metal (in this case copper) is built up over an object using a low voltage electrical current. This process can take many hours to complete. The majority of Amanda's pieces are formed over a period of 3 or more hours (sometimes much longer) to ensure there is a nice thick covering of copper. Due to the nature of this process, the copper often grows little bumps and pits on the surface as its forming, making each piece completely unique. The silver pieces go through an additional step and are plated in Silver after being electroformed.
