Large Batik Triangles

The "Batik" collection is my variation on the patterning technique on cloth which uses a wax resist and dyes to create a design. I draw a lacquer resist on polished sterling, dip it in a solution which heavily oxidizes the exposed silver. Then I remove the resist and burnish the sterling shape leaving a satin gray pattern on the silver. 18k Gold-Vermeil earwires are left sterling at the top where they rest in the ear, and they clip closed in the back. 2" long x 1 1/8" wide To see other finishes for this earring, search for "Large Triangles"
