Vortex Earrings – Argentium Silver Chain Maille

Description

Vortex Earrings – Argentium Silver Chain Maille

These elegant Vortex Earrings are handcrafted from luminous Argentium Silver, known for its bright finish and excellent tarnish resistance. Each piece is carefully hand-woven in a flowing vortex pattern, creating a graceful spiral of interlocking rings that catch the light with every movement.

The design is topped with a classic Byzantine weave, adding intricate texture and timeless chain maille artistry. Lightweight yet striking, these earrings balance delicate craftsmanship with bold visual interest.

They include my handmade “mini” ear wires, crafted from Argentium Silver. These ear wires are slightly smaller than standard ones—perfect for those who enjoy the look of dangle earrings without the extra length. They can also be swapped for my traditional ear wires if preferred.

Perfect for everyday elegance or special occasions, the Vortex Earrings showcase the beauty of traditional chain maille techniques in modern wearable art.

The jewelry creation featured here is made from my hand coiled and cut Argentium® silver.
Argentium® Silver is a modern silver, which modifies the traditional sterling silver (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing most of the copper with the germanium. The addition of germanium makes Argentium® silver highly tarnish resistant.  It is a whiter, brighter silver, that is my opinion looks more like white gold than silver.  Argentium® silver is more expensive than traditional sterling silver … but in my opinion, well worth it!  An occasional rinse with a Dawn dish soap and water is all that is needed to keep this bracelet looking new for years to come!

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO view the additional picture, show with this listing, that will clearly show you the difference between Argentium® silver and traditional sterling silver.  In the picture, the Argentium® sterling silver side is still bright and shiny while the traditional sterling side is tarnishing.  Argentium® 930 sterling silver is highly tarnish-resistant. Jewelry-makers and customers alike appreciate the value and convenience of beautifully sparkling jewelry that requires no polishing. An occasional rinse with a Dawn dish soap and water is all that is needed.
