Handmade Silver Stud Earrings ARC Jewellery

I get a lot of silver offcuts here at ARC Jewellery but luckily I have several designs where I can use recycled silver in the form of little pebbles.  

The offcuts are melted into balls of various sizes and then either left ball shaped or flattened with a hammer and facetted (with a much smaller hammer) to give a lovely surface texture.  They are then added to earrings, rings, bangles and pendants and when polished they add a lovely sparkly detail to the design.

My most popular recycled silver items are these earrings.  The studs and dangles look great together in a row of piercings.  The studs are available in several sizes ranging from a very small 3mm (or smaller) up to 7mm diameter...or larger if you like.  As with most of my earrings they are also available as singles and are very popular as a unisex stud earring or as a first pair for newly pierced ears.

 

Little balls of recycled silver are used here to embellish earrings and a pendant

arc jewellery website update

As spring is well and truly here I thought it was about time my website had a bit of a spring clean so there have been a few fixes, updates and new editions carried out recently.  

As I mostly use Twitter these days it makes sense to have a twitter feed added to the homepage of arcjewellery.com.  It's an easy way of keeping the latest news up front and clearly visible and I'm very pleased with how it now looks.

Handmade sterling silver jewellery

What a busy few months we have had at ARC Jewellery!  

Handmade sterling silver jewellery has been flying off the virtual shelves in my online shops.  I've been so busy at the bench keeping up with orders and preparing for events that I haven't had the time to devote to my blog.  I thought it was about time I rectified that.

So what's been happening...

I have acquired two new stockists this year, The Giggly Goat Gallery in Norwich and Mog and Crusoe Gallery in Wadebridge, Cornwall.  A selection of my work including bangles, pendants and earrings is on display at each.  Both are lovely galleries full of beautiful pieces of artwork and handmade creations.

This year's events kicked off with Art Unequalled in Bury St Edmunds in May, followed by The Etheldreda Fair in Ely and then the Chippenham Hall Summer Fete.  We were lucky to have glorious weather and plenty of lovely customers and visitors to each event.

My next events will be Art Unequalled in Ely on 18/19 October, Ely Cathedral Christmas Fair 13-15 November and Swavesey Christmas Fair on 22nd November.  Details of these events can be found on my website www.arcjewellery.co.uk or on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/arcjewellery

I am still busy restocking my virtual shelves on both my Folksy and Etsy shops.  There you will find a selection of unique handmade sterling silver earrings, both stud and dangle earrings, bangles, bracelets, necklaces and pendants, silver rings made to order and a selection of enamelled pieces of jewellery that I have been working on recently.

Here is a snapshot of some of the items available in my Etsy shop.  I am waiting for some hallmarked pieces to be returned from the London Assay office so there will be more pieces added just as soon as they arrive.

Don't forget you can keep up to date with events, new items of jewellery and promotions by following me on Twitter @arcjewellery or on Facebook
