I have been preparing for my spring jewellery sales and have been enamoured by asymmetrical pairs of earrings. I have always had a few in my collections for the artists who buy from me; however this year the popular trends in jewellery have included the slightly offbeat askew look. Check out the asymmetrical look at Bazaar.
I love it and I love the idea of balancing the imbalance. My favourite pair at the moment is made from a vintage brooch and matching earring set. As with many items I collect, there is always something missing. In this case one earring and a brooch were all I found in a bag of abandoned treasures. Re-creating the asymmetrical look with a foundling earring is not really challenging, just a matter of luck. Here are my first three pairs:
Of course, you may contact me to arrange purchase for any of my work. I do not have my pieces for sale anywhere else online. It is only through personal contact that I make my pieces available.

Your work continues to grow and become more interesting! I especially love the '50's inspired earrings. Such fun. Wish I was closer to be able to see all your works and attend a show or two. Oh well, such is not to be this Spring. Sigh!!
ReplyDeleteI may make them but I don't know if I would have enough nerve to wear them! Think of me when you are cleaning out your stash of jewellery - you never know how it could be remade.
