rhienellethWow, haven't had one of these in awhile!
I tried an experiment last night, and as I often do when experimenting with wire and jewelry these days, I used copper. (It's much less painful to scrap, if necessary, than the astronomically expensive silver, or even worse, gold fill.) I like copper. I love the rosy-gold color of it, the warmth, the way it turns colors under a torch, and how it "ages" to an antique look. I'm highly allergic, though, so I can't actually wear it once I've made something from it.
But I LOVED how these earrings turned out. I will be making more along these lines:
This is some of that brilliantly flashy lab I picked up a few months ago. That gorgeous, peacock blue against the rosy gold swirls of the copper is absolutely stunning, and makes me very sad I can't wear them. But of all the jewelry affected by my allergies, earrings are the worst, because they get worn in the ears. I will be making a pair in silver tonight, you can be sure. I'll be listing these in my Etsy shop this morning sometime, with more pics and info, as per usual.
