Embracing Asymmetry...

I’m on a bit of an earring kick now. Because my wardrobe these days consists of so many beautifully embroidered Johnny Was tops and kimonos, earrings have become one of the few jewelry choices that won’t catch on and snag my clothing. So, I’ve been going wild in the earring arena! You’ve heard the phrase "a match made in heaven"...well, I consider these asymmetrical earrings a "mismatch" made in heaven! I am loving creating single one-of-a-kind earrings. Although each earring shown here is different, they all blend or contrast well with each other. By summer I will have a good-sized collection of earrings that I've created using rose cut and smooth polished gemstones set in interesting shapes, secured with bezels of filigree wire, and adorned with chain or other embellishment. Gemstone featured in these earrings are carnelian, citrine, rutile quartz, amethyst, cherry quartz, garnet, aquamarine, bamboo coral, and fossil walrus tooth slices. I love each and every earring!
