Each piece is hammered by hand, creating subtle texture and a soft shimmer that catches the light without feeling flashy. This sculptural balance is what gives the Mixed Metal Triangle Drop Earrings their expressive yet wearable character.

Artist notes
Andrea Inks approaches jewelry as a study in form, movement, and the quiet character of mixed metals. Each piece begins as raw sheet and wire, shaped and refined through a series of hand‑driven processes that emphasize texture, balance, and the relationship between geometric structure and organic detail. Her work often explores how contrasting metals interact — not only visually, but in the way they respond to light, patina, and motion over time.
The Mixed Metal Triangle Drop Earrings reflect this ongoing exploration. The triangular frame offers a sense of structure and direction, while the inner teardrop and oval elements introduce softness and swing. Andrea intentionally leaves the metals unsealed so they can develop a natural patina, allowing each pair to evolve uniquely with the wearer. This slow transformation is part of the design philosophy: jewelry that doesn’t remain static, but grows warmer and more personal through use.
Every component is cut, hammered, and assembled by hand in small batches, ensuring subtle variations that speak to the maker’s touch. Andrea’s background in metalsmithing and her commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship guide each decision — from the choice of Argentium sterling for comfort and durability to the layered silhouettes that create depth without heaviness. These earrings are part of a broader body of work that values clarity, contrast, and the understated beauty of handmade objects.
