A tall open frame narrows toward three wrapped horizontal bars, then resolves into a crescent base marked by a single raised bead. The silhouette reads more like a small structure than a drop earring.

  • Material: Pewter-based alloy, silver-plated, metal
  • Color: Antique silver
  • Length: 2.125 in (plus hook)
  • Width: 1 in
  • Sold as: Pair
  • Origin: Türkiye

The pair carries deliberate asymmetry — the bars sit at slightly different angles from one earring to the next, so the two never quite mirror. At just over two inches long the scale is generous, but the cast frame keeps them light through a long day.

Details
  • Open geometric frame
  • Wrapped wire banding
  • Antique silver finish
  • Lightweight cast construction
  • Hypoallergenic hook

Each pair is cast and finished by hand, so slight variations in texture and the antique surface are normal.

The Story

These earrings draw on a current in Turkish metalwork that takes familiar forms and abstracts them into clean architectural lines. The open bar frame and banded midsection read like a miniature structure, and the antique-silver surface points to a design language that values honest construction over ornamentation.

Each pair starts as a model of the open frame and crescent base, cast in a pewter-based alloy in small batches. Once cooled, the wire banding is set by hand, the surface is worked to bring out the antique-silver finish, and the silver plating is applied. Because finishing is done by hand rather than machine-polished to a uniform shine, small differences in texture and tone carry through from pair to pair.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Cast metalwork

Wipe gently with a dry cloth after wear, and keep away from moisture and chemicals. Store in a dry pouch between uses.

Questions

What are these earrings made of?

A pewter-based alloy with silver plating, nickel-free and lead-free.

Are they hypoallergenic?

Yes. The alloy is nickel-free and lead-free, and the hook is designed for sensitive ears.

Where are they made?

Cast and finished in Türkiye, where metal casting and plating are established craft trades.

Why does the finish look worn?

The antique-silver finish is intentional and hand-applied, so light surface variation is part of the design rather than a flaw.

Are they heavy to wear all day?

No. The cast alloy construction keeps them light despite the open, structural size, so they stay comfortable for extended wear.

How do I care for them?

Keep them away from moisture and chemicals, wipe with a dry cloth after each wear, and store in a dry pouch between uses.
