Refresh

Eclipse Stone in sterling, 1 inch square studs - dramatic in size, light in weight.

Mojito Earrings: onyx and vintage glass beads with turquoise ends!

The most stunning opaque ocean jasper post earrings: 1 1/3 inches long with whimsical details along the bottom edge...

And my personal love, the turquoise teardrops....

in this batch of earrings, I played around with the length of time I left them in their Liver of Sulfur bath: the first color that comes over the metal is yellow, then red and then blue and finally the blue-grey that I most often use:

In every pair of earrings this week there is a bit of color: in the seams you can see swaths of red, blue....

I wanted to have everything come alive a bit more, dance with the stones I chose....

I am so excited and inspired by the result!!!!

In the Metal Shop today!!!
