Keep the magic of the mountains close to you wherever you may be with mountain stud earrings, featuring a night sky. These rocky mountain-inspired post earrings were designed with a modern, abstract design. Details:Size: 3/8″ diameterMaterial: oxidized sterling silver; nickel-free.Ear-post: sterling silver with sterling silver ear-nuts. Nickel-free.How it’s made:Our signature mountain design is created by a metalsmithing process called fusing. Each piece of sterling silver is hand-cut and carefully placed with tweezers onto a sterling silver base. Then with a little magic, a little luck, intense concentration and careful torch control, the piece is heated just before it completely melts. It’s at this point that the pieces fuse to the base. This creates a unique look but also provides superior durability and texture to the piece.
