Mini Square Earrings by Ashka Dymel

Handmade by Ashka Dymel in Brooklyn, New York. These earrings are made with sterling silver and a row of small semiprecious beads on leverback closure ear wires. Dimensions: approximately  0.25” wide x 0.75” long x 0.125” thick Available in brushed silver or blackened silver. Primarily self-taught, I avoid traditional stone setting techniques and connections. My work is recognized by its unique method of capturing stones within metal frames creating negative space as an integral part of the composition. The use of thin wires to hold the elements together is another non-traditional technique allowing for movement and structural flexibility. A combination of unique materials and methods results in a joyful piece of wearable art. All the work is handmade using sterling silver, 18k gold bimetal, and semi-precious stones and minerals. Ashka Dymel was born in Warsaw, Poland. After studies in liberal arts and foreign languages in Poland and Czechoslovakia, Ashka moved to the United States whe
