First snow has just covered the hills and I can see in the town shops the very first preparation for Christmas. Baubles, candles, golden and red ornaments and lots of nuts and spices - all of this put me in a wintry-Christmassy mood. In my home country my husband’s Grandmother would prepare a special cranberry jelly to be enjoyed on 24 December, the Vigil night. One can eat it with some custard flavored with natural vanilla or cinnamon. Thinking of this delicious dish I wrapped the Cranberry In Snow earrings, one of my new “Swirl” designs. The Ruby onion briolettes are of the freshest and sweetest cranberry size and colour. They are accompanied by icy-snowy, cloudy white natural little Chalcedony. Each earring is flavored with a bit of cinnamon - the golden sparkly Citrine, with a touch of 14K Gold Filled wire and also with tiny little round Peridot.
