Artist's Comments

Hello everyone!

I chose to donate some OOAK earrings for the Famazon Magazine Launch coming next week...:D

Garnet
These earrings were made using sterling and Hill Tribe silver with garnet, african turquoise (a type of jasper), shell and wood. The dark grey beads are actually silver, they've just been deeply oxidized...:) I find they look very Native American/Folk Art-like...:)

Pearl
Again sterling and Hill Tribe silver were used. This time, I went for a more classic look and paired the silver with beautiful fresh water pearls in dove grey, creamy whit and peacock blue. What's fun about these earrings is that I used a necklace closure to hang the chain from...:D it's usually used when you make a multi-strand necklace...;)

Quartz
I decided to do something different and so I paired serpentine, smokey quartz and czech glass with beautiful copper findings. The ear wires will eventually acquire a gorgeous patina. These guys are a little more contemporary in style.

The Quartz earrings are the shorted with the Pearl being the longest. The Garent are definitely more weighty. I really love each pair and whoever is lucky enough to own these pieces can be happy with the knowledge that no one else will ever own the same pair of earrings!

Enjoy!
