Azure


I totally fell in love with these drop-dead gorgeous borosilicate glass beads by the talented Lori Robbins as soon as I saw them!  The blue and green combo reminds me of the lush tropical greens and cool azure blue ocean from a long-ago trip to Hawaii…anyone else need a vacation?  This may be as close as I get!

These quick and easy earrings show that sometimes all you need to create beautiful unique jewelry is to just combine beautiful components…not alot of extras.  I simply embellished the glass beads with a lovely Thai Hill Tribe silver flower charm, and a Balinese silver bead or two, then dangled them from my hand-wrought sterling earwires.


I have a market day coming up this Saturday and will definitely be creating a few more simple pairs like this!



You can find these earrings and much more at my Etsy Shop, Melismatic Art Jewelry.  For more info about me and/or my designs, check out my blog at Art, Life, Love.
