Silver Grain Stud Earrings

Enjoy making these beautiful earrings, to wear or gift, by following our simple step by step written instructions or by watching our video tutorial.

Step 1

Either select two similar sized and shaped Silver grains or to make mismatched earrings, choose two complimentary sized or shaped grains.

Step 2

Add a little bit of solder paste to the end of an earring post and place the Silver grain on a solder brick/block.

Step 3

Using a third hand with reverse action tweezers, position the earring post in the tweezers and in contact with the middle of the silver grain.

Step 4

‘

Using a hand blowtorch, gently heat the grain first and then the post until the solder melts and flows. Repeat the steps above to make another earring.

Step 5

Quench the Silver stud earring in water or leave to cool, then add them to a warm acid pickle.

Step 6

Polish the Silver stud earrings using a polishing cloth and a burnisher or a barrel polisher. Add the butterfly scrolls onto the earring posts to complete.
