Sterling Leaf and Labradorite Earrings

I'm always thinking I need to make more earrings.  These have tiny leaves milled on the silver and I've added a nice patina.  I carefully wrapped the smooth pear shaped labradorite stones and also wrapped some wire at the tops of these as well.  I hand shaped the ear wires and even coiled the accent wire at the base.  These would look fantastic dressed up or paired with a favorite t-shirt and denim jacket.

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
