wildflower earrings in porcelain

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:42:35 -0500

$26.00
hand cast porcelain earrings in life-like anemone with swarovski crystals for a little bit of color & sparkle

anemone are commonly (but incorrectly) called the prairie crocus...a much cuter name if I do say so myself

this flower was said to be made from the tears of Venus as she wept when Mars got jealous and sent a wild boar to kill her lover

in the traditional english translation of the bible (king james) this flower was referred to as "lilies of the field"

because of its fine texture, translucence and light weight porcelain is the perfect medium for me to celebrate the delicate beauty of flowers found in nature

approximately 15mm diameter, mounted on surgical steel posts

sent with both surgical steel backs and super comfy clear rubber backs...because I prefer them myself

high fired for durability
