Hematite, Swarovski, silver earrings

Hematite, Swarovski 4mm Emerald AB and Peridot crystals on sterling silver. The ranbow colours of the Emerald AB is not obvious in this photo. Made for a friend's birthday.

Silver earrings

These started out as two halves of a cat's head soldered together - pointy bits for the ears, spirals for the eyes. I decided the resulting brooch would be too large and the halves would look better turned the other way and finished off as earrings. I'd bought the fine wire to wrap seaglass and semi-precious stones, but it proved to be too fiddly and fine; however, it's perfect for adding woven texture to pieces.

Silver scarf pin

Used an old paisley hand-kerchief as basis for this design. Can be used to secure a scarf as in the photo or, with a pin backing, as a brooch.
