Rose Petal, Round Drop, Earrings from the Captured Collection - Red or Yellow Petals

Description

Give the gift of flowers that will never wilt! Made with real rose petals, these earrings 'capture' a red or yellow rose petal that has been permanently sealed behind clear resin and set in sterling silver. Each round drop measures 10 mm in diameter and dangles from sterling silver chain for an overall length of almost 1.5 inches.

Each pair of earrings is handmade to order. Due to the organic nature of these earrings, each pair of earrings is unique and colors may vary slightly from the photos.

All of my work is handmade by me in my simple studio, located on the sunny side of a 100-year-old farmhouse in the woods of Virginia.

***Don't forget to leave me a note during check-out regarding your color selection: RED or YELLOW petals. Thanks!!!

ARTIST STATEMENT about the "CAPTURED COLLECTION":

I have always been attracted to the plethora of color, texture, and pattern that is nature's canvas. I often bring plastic bags with me for long walks in the woods (and not because I have a dog). I like to collect the random bits of nature that inspire my creative work. It wasn't until recently that I discovered how to incorporate these materials into my metal jewelry, in the "Captured Collection."

The "Captured Collection" explores the human need to make timeless the treasures in life that bring us joy. All things organic are in a constant state of change. By sealing these found materials in a clear epoxy resin, I am able to suspend them in time. By becoming a wearable object set in precious metal, each bit of bark, tiny flower petal, or autumn leaf is viewed in a new light that is shared with a broader audience.
