METAMORPHOSIS 20: REVEAL

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!

Cocktail Earrings

I've made Mavra quite a bit of jewellery so I knew I wanted to make her something I hadn't made her before: earrings.

She likes neutrals and said she wanted something a little fancier. She had told me she didn't care much if what I made her included stones, but then she loved last month's cuff. Based on that, I decided some multi-stone earrings in neutral colours might be a good option.

She doesn't wear brown so picking the smokey quartz was a but of a risk, but I hoped that since it's more of a light taupe, it would be soft and subtle enough for her. Plus, the hematite brings out the gray undertones of the quartz. She is petite and doesn't like big heavy earrings so I made them a bit bigger than a nickel. Fancy yet not over the top.

I quite like how these turned out! I think I'll make more!
