The process began with wax carving, where the intricate designs of the earrings were sculpted by hand using carving tools. Once the wax carvings were complete, they were used to cast in silver. After the earrings were cast and cleaned, a patina solution of cupric nitrate was applied to the surface. The cupric nitrate patina adds depth and contrast to the design, enhancing the details and giving the earrings a unique and distinctive appearance; The wearer will be imbued with a sense of wonder evoked by the ocean's mysteries enveloping their being. The profound depths of the ocean harbor enigmatic wonders that persistently captivate humanity's imagination. These earrings draw inspiration from the graceful forms found beneath the waves. Flowing lines gracefully emulate the gentle sway of underwater flora, seamlessly integrated into the earring design. The remarkable diversity of these forms ignites a profound sense of wonder and curiosity in the observer.
