This is by far the most beautiful rainbow moonstone i've ever touched and had the pleasure to work with! already sold
Handmade copper washers filled with Ice Resin. Riveted and wirewrapped.
I wanted to use resin in a different way, and not use a ready-made bezel. So I created the individual washers, forging them to raise the center opening enough to provide borders for the resin. I used the chrysocholla because it matches so beautifully patina on the copper - I wanted the end result to be a monochromatic scheme.
Last year I spent two weeks in Mexico, and more precisely in Akumal, Yucatan..It was a great trip and I enjoyed it so much..I can perfectly remember the brilliant colours of plants and flowers and for the first time I was introduce to Maya's culture..so fascinating..
These earrings have been inspired by this journey..
Meters of copper wire in different gauges enriched with beautiful gemstones:2 labradorite faceted heart shaped briolettes - on the above part of them -, flashy blue fire gemmy AAA labradorite faceted teardrop riolettes - on both sides together with tiny freshwater pearls - , green moss agate A grade faceted long teardrop - in the very middle of them - flat labradorite round beads and finally two green moss agate, AA grade, faceted flat teardrops.
I heavily oxidised them for a more antique look!
