Magnetic Field Earrings 5

This silver and brass earring was hand-constructed from tarnish-resistant silver wires and brass sheet. Artist Brittany Foster bends, fuses and solders the silver before adding the brass accents and applying a darkening patina to seal and give the piece a brushed finish.

The design for the piece began with charts of magnetic fields; Foster is inspired by the beauty of simple, intersecting lines repeated at increasing distance and enjoys finding the balance in her work. Sterling silver post backs.
