Memories of the past - pure silver and labradorite earrings

These intricate and rich earrings have been inspired by some memories of my past..Every people we met in our life leave in our heart a smile or a tear..
I first shaped and hammered the silver wire then wrapped it with meters of fine silver wire and enriched silver round and smooth beads, flashy blue fire gemmy AAA labradorite faceted teardrop briolettes, bali silver daisies and labradorite micro-faceted round beads.The flower earposts are in silver plated ~ definitely beautiful!
They're 1.77 inches/4.5 cm long ~ from the bottom of the earposts.Oxidation gives a special charm to them and makes the labradorite stand out greatly!Precious, elegant and mysterious, these earrings will enrich your natural beauty..

Bird of Paradise - Copper bangle

This bangle, inspired by Eni Oken’s tutorial (www.enioken.com) has the colour of the homonymous bird, which is one of the most fascinating birds in the world: beautiful and big faceted czech crystals in the tones of orange and ligth brown, shiny bali copper beads with oxidized ridges, fuchsia swarovski crystal beads and faceted roundelles, tiny copper finish crystals...all these beauties are mounted in a wire-wrapped frame made of pure copper wire, of different gauges, copper smooth round beads and fuchsia 4mm Swarovski bicone crystals.
The copper clasp is totally handmade and has been wrapped with pure copper wire and copper balls and daisy. Slightly oxidised for a more romantic look!
It is 7.87 inches / 20 cm long
