Evolution of a pair of Earrings
It started when I bought these pretty aquamarines from a lovely bloke in Bourton on the Water. 
He was completely non-plussed. Why would you buy semi-cut stones? Did I not want them faceted, polished?
Nope. I love the smooth tactile finish, the little peaks and most of all the soft, soft blue.
As I'd bought 2 and they matched, I guess I had earrings in mind, already.
Something simple.
Usually I design, draw, finesse before I even pick up the silver.
These just evolved.
I played with the shape of the setting, the size of the hoop,the texture, the "angle of dangle", the suface finish.
The result is more organic than my usual style, a pair of summer earrings, simple, unfussy.
Hope you like them.
I do like them! The stones are a lovely shape - they look really soft, and I love the hammered texture on the silver.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. They look almost like moonstones. Love aquamarines & moonstones.
ReplyDeletegorgeous - and very unusual to find stones like these that are unpolished!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous. I love the colour and the little peaks.
ReplyDeleteThose are just so beautiful - and I love the look of the uncut/unpolished stones. Those stones are lucky to have found you:)
