These handmade sterling silver earrings feature Everett & Mary Teller's silver overlay design and natural Mediterranean red coral. The storm pattern overlay design is clean, bold & crisp. The earrings measure a bit over 1 inch long and they weigh 3.8 grams each. It's difficult to get a good picture of these earrings because of the highly reflective nature of the sterling silver.

Silver Overlay is a process of soldering one piece of silver, from which a design has been cut, over another piece of silver. The top layer is a handmade, hand cut overlay created from a sheet of sterling that is then bonded to the base layer of sterling. The base layer background is usually oxidized oxidized, which turns the silver surface black. The oxidation brings out a contrast between the two pieces and makes the individual designs more visible.
