| Hoarfrost in Northern Canada by Nathalie Lesage |
A couple of weeks ago, as my husband and I ventured out to Alberta to run errands in a larger city center before Christmas, I was delighted to see Hoarfrost or White Frost in the trees lining the road.
It was a little bit eery and magical at the same time, and I took lots of pictures for inspiration :)
And these are the Winter White Frost Earrings I've designed...
White Frost has such a cool look, with its white needles and lines, I wanted to recreate that texture and feel in the Sterling Silver sheet metal that I've cut and used in this design.
Using a couple of different hammers, I've manually created this texture which reminds me of the frost, and I've used an antique finish to bring out the details.
These earrings feature a gorgeous chunky pair of faceted "blue flash" Rainbow Moonstones, which capture the eery bluish light of the frost in the early morning light... it's a bit difficult to capture on camera, but you can see some of that blue flash in this image:
These are a really gorgeous pair of Moonstones, loaded with beautiful feminine positive energy...
I have not yet listed these on my website, as I'm taking a bit of time off for the holidays, but you will soon be able to purchase them on my website: Nathalie Lesage Jewelry.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year...
May all your wishes come true in 2015!!

These earrings are gorgeous. They do bring to mind the crisp air of the frost.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the silver charms and the look you have achieved with the texture. Totally reminds me of frost! Amazing texture! And the stones are just beautiful with that blue flash! Also reminds me of the frost. The silver caps and the small beads below really add to the look and character as well. Love them!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely translation of your haunting picture, Miss Nathalie! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Isn't moonstone just the perfect winter stone? These are lovely. The antiquing on your metal really sets them off. Wonderful texture on your metal components--it very much captures the random frost patterns you see on the windowpane in the winter.
ReplyDeleteStunning, Nathalie! I love the moment you capture in your photo. Your translation of that splendid moment into earrings is superb. The texture on silver. And the moonstones! And the upside down cap lifting the moonstone into the texture of the silver sheet. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful earrings Nathalie! They do remind me of winter. The lines on the metal look the frost looks on a window and the moonstones remind me of frozen water. Perfect winter earrings!
ReplyDeleteGreat earrings! You did a fabulous job on the metal.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. The white frost has an ethereal quality that you captured perfectly. Great look.
ReplyDeleteLove your connectors - and the gems are perfect!
