Recently I've been fortunate to have collected a number of pairs of delicately beautiful enameled earring components by Raida Disbrow of Havana Beads. My newest earrings, below, are made from one of her gorgeous pairs: luscious florals in purples and deep purply blues, with droplets of pink and baby blue.
It's been a long time since I've made much rosary chain, but I enjoyed putting together the little chains of small faceted amethysts. And I'm not dreading this whole briolette-wrapping thing so much anymore either, probably because I'm getting a little better at it despite myself. That's what happens when you keep working on it, right? I can hear my mother asking me now from the other side. (Of course, she's right.) 😉🌷

Meridy, these earrings are so beautiful and dreamy. The colors are gorgeous and you wrapped the little briolettes perfectly! I still dread doing this.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Janine! I agree about the colors...they're so rich you can get lost in them. As for the briolettes...it's getting easier. My level of dread is decreasing; at least now I'm not breaking into a cold sweat while I work on them! (Yes, I am pitiful...) 💗
DeleteI love the rich purple color of these. Those amethyst drops are gorgeous and very dramatic! Enjoy the day! Erin

ReplyDeleteMeridy, these are absolutely stunning 💜💜💜
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous Meridy! Love the colour and that briolette wrapping is perfect!
ReplyDeleteMeridy, I totally get enjoying making the chain! I find repetitive wire wrapping, with or without the wrapping, to be meditative. Although I don’t usually use such tiny beads....so there I say, WoW. 😊 The Earrings are beautiful...and your fingers still very nimble. 🤗❤️ Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteLaughing at the bit about your mum - same here! Beautiful pair Meridy x
