Silver & Gold Nugget Earrings
Tiny sterling silver and gold vermeil nuggets are hand wire wrapped onto a contemporary sterling silver french ear wire then attached to a large 24k vermeil pear drop briolette bead which is slightly textured. The pear drop bead is hand wire wrapped in sterling silver argentium wire to prevent oxidation. I can also do these in reverse so that the pear shape is sterling silver and the wire is gold.

Sonia S Ruffini Design Studio, LLC
All handmade, handcrafted fashion jewelry. I specialize in semi-precious stones and Swarvoski Crystals. I use 14k goldfilled wire and chains, sterling silver, vermeil, and solid gold by request. Creating has been my entire life. I started out as a fine arts painter and needed a break from the oils and solvents. I bought a few beads, some wire and started playing with it, and I was hooked! Jewelry designing and making is my art. I also create collages that have a glitzy jewelry appeal to them. I love my job!
