KENYA ON MY MIND - Sterling Earrings - Hessonite Garnets, Kazuri Handmade Beads, Keishi Pearls, Freshwater Pearls
Description
It was my turn to name the weekly challenge theme for The Wire Artisans Guild, and I was in a playful mood ~ so, I decided it should be WHIRLIGIG!!! Hope you like what I came up with!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These earrings were such fun to make! I started by threading heavy gauge sterling wire through the fun handmade Kazuri ceramic beads from Kenya (free trade)
and swirled the top part into cute saucy designs. Then
I coiled and wrapped them with thin sterling wire and wire
wrapped pretty faceted amber/brown hessonite garnets to the fancy shapes for added sparkle.
At the bottom, I wire wrapped clusters of brownish peach Keishi petal pearls, lime green and coral freshwater pearls carefully with sterling ball headpins. Very showy!!
Finishing them are handmade (by me) sterling earwires in a sweet swirl shape. So cute!
I left them shiny sterling silver (not oxidized) and they just sparkle!
Measuring 2 1/4" from bottom of earwires and 7/8" across.
