Swinging Gypsies

These are a lightweight and colorful pair of gypsy-style earrings that are both fun to wear and very eye-catching.

 

Constructed with sterling silver wire, which has been shaped, soldered, hammered and then woven together. The top quality gems used in this design are: faceted rose quartz onion briolettes, micro-faceted pink garnet rondelles, and faceted emerald rondelles for the bottom fringe.

 

They hang from a pair of my embellished and secure ear-wires.

 

All metals used are sterling and fine silver and then oxidized the natural way (with hard-boiled egg) to highlight the wire-work. I then hand polished them for a beautiful patina.

 

Measurement: 2 inches from the tops of ear-wires

 

Weight: 3 grams : light to medium weight.
