Earrings features Purple Sapphire set in 22k gold bezel set onto a dime manufactured prior to 1965, when they were minted in “coin silver” or “coinage silver” which is 90% fine silver, and 10% copper. Unique one-of-a-kind earrings.

Tai Vautier has been making jewelry for 20 years. She lives in Portland, Oregon and is deeply inspired by the elements of the Pacific Northwest. She employs advanced techniques such as alloying her own metals, fusing, reticulation and micro-granulation to achieve her unique textures. She then heavily oxidizes her work and uses high karat gold to create a beautiful contrast between the metals. Tai Vautier Jewelry showcases precious and semi precious gemstones. This jewelry is mainly fabricated, rarely cast and no Precious Metal Clay is used in these designs.
