2-way Earrings!

Maria had mentioned wanting earrings so I thought it would be nice to make her some that match an amethyst cocktail ring I had made her a few years ago (similar ring featured below).

I wanted to make some earrings that could be worn two-ways: a simple stud for day wear that could be spruced up by adding a multi-stone jacket.

I hadn't made jackets for earrings before so it was good practise to come up with the technical design. Originally, I had planned for each jacket to have either four or six marquise stones but once I started placing the settings together I realized that three stones per earring was the most balanced.

I'm looking forward to making another pair!
