Slender wild oat seeds were gathered during a walk in the woods.  Fine silver clay was impressed with the seeds to make a truly unique pair of earrings.  A patina was added and then polished to bring out the fine details.  Since each earring is made individually the pattern will be slightly different and unique. 

Details:

Length is 1 inch, including ear wire and 1/2 inch round. 

Sterling silver ear wire.

Fine silver clay consists of fine silver particles and an organic binder.  After forming, drying and refining the piece is fired in a kiln.  During this time the binder burns off and the result is a piece that is .999 pure silver.
