Passion Fruit - copper precious earrings

Description

This tropical fruit is said to be named not for the passionate propensity it promotes but because particular parts of the plant's flowers resemble different symbols of Christ's crucifixion, such as the crown of thorns. Though native to Brazil, passion fruit (also called granadilla) is now also grown in Australia, California, Florida, Hawaii (where it's called lilikoi) and New Zealand. The most common variety marketed in the United States is egg-shaped and about 3 inches long. When ripe, it has a dimpled, deep-purple skin and a soft, golden flesh generously punctuated with tiny, edible black seeds. The flavor is seductively sweet-tart and the fragrance tropical and perfumy.

For this week theme - passion, chosen by Susanna from Susyq Jewelry - I decided to create a pair of earrings which remind this delicious fruit. The colours of these earrings are truly vivid and sparkling!

I first coiled a copper oval frame with bronze coloured copper wire and then enriched it with tiny A grade rhodolite pink garnet faceted rondelles, whose light is special!

In the upper middle of this precious frame I've put an AAA grade micro-faceted citrine briolette - fancy cut dolphin shape: its light and its shades are incredibly gorgeous!

Just below a cascade of A grade faceted citrine briolettes and fuschia sparkling swarosky crystals.

At the very end I wanted to add a special sparkling touch: a cultured white rough coin shaped pearl, whose shades are fabulous!

They're 2.36 inches ( 6 cm) long - ear wires ecluded (real copper french wire earring hooks with coil and daisy).

So, if you want a brand new summer touch, you can't miss them!
