Artist Kathryn Riechert makes simple stud earrings utilizing small sterling silver discs and handmade chasing tools and stamps. This style is a little smiley face! The metal is solid sterling silver with a shiny, brushed finish. The indentations have a patina added to make them stand out. The discs are 1/4" in diameter. Very simple and easy to wear. Perfect for little girls or big girls!
