Fern Swirls - Sterling Silver Peridot, Prasiolite, Phrenite and Garnet Wire-Wrapped Earrings




Fern Swirls - Sterling Silver Peridot, Prasiolite, Phrenite and Garnet Wire-Wrapped Earrings - By Blue Almonds

Measurements: the earrings are 5.3cm/2.12” long in total and 1.9cm/0.76” wide at the widest point

Peridot micro-faceted onion briolette; Prasiolite and Prehnite micro-faceted roundelles, Garnet smooth rounds; sterling silver

This was the first of Swirls I created, the most delicate and light, like the first shy unfurling leaves of ferns on the woods. It is entirely hand made from scratch, wrapped with patience and love with meters of Sterling Silver wire. Peridot, Prasiolite and Prehnite together bring different subtle shades of green and little Garnet wine-red beads add the happiness of new sprouting life.
