Dangles and Drops…
When I first had my ears pierces decades ago, I wore nothing but tiny little earrings that had posts. Petite textured earrings in the shape of seashells, ladybugs, and tree frogs graced my lobes. Wearing even the smallest of hoops was daring for me! I’ve come a long way since then and now prefer earrings with movement – ones that swing when I turn my head to and fro. Earrings such as those shown in this collection now feel just right to me! They combine components made of bronze metal clay and sterling silver, as well as other mixed media materials. Lightweight, yet visually substantial, they never fail to receive compliments. I’ll have these earrings and many more available at my Brio Gallery trunk show next Saturday!

Me too. I love earrings with movement. Although I started with long earrings right from the get go. I now have a fav pair (2 prs actually) of little hooks that I use when or wearing big ones. I love what you’ve done here and am thinking of making cones from polymer. 🙂

Cones from polymer clay would be really cool, Jennifer…especially in some wild colors!
