Fantastic modernist design solid sterling silver 3D earrings by master silversmith Joseph Skinger. Originally clip on style, they have been converted to pierced-post back. They have recently been professionally polished and look phenomenal. Please excuse the lines or reflections, as they are extremely shiny and hard to photograph.
