Gloria

You know those earrings you really want to keep hold of?


I've layered some 4 Ophelia enamel plates over some vintage pendants which I've treated to give them a weathered look. Above, I've included some wavy vintage caps which are particularly lovely. They're topped with some fluted czech glass bicones and some teeny freshwater pearls. 


I've listed them - reluctantly! - here on Etsy.

Bye for now, Claire

Ice and Spice

The earrings that I'm sharing today are something of a hybrid, I guess.



I'm getting over my autumnal design frenzy and have my mind focused on winter-y pieces.  There's some autumn warmth in the frit-ty torch-fired panels, which I got from Georgie at 4ophelia.  She has some lovely pieces available at the moment. I ordered some more the other day and, just checking her shop, I can see more that are tempting me!



Here the spicy shades on the panels strike a contrast with the frosty white, icicle-like, recycled glass shards.  As I've said before, I do like a spiky bead!  I finished these with some vintage ribbed washer beads and freshwater button pearls.  They're available here in my Etsy shop.

Bye for now, Claire
