Matching…

While I truly prefer mismatched earrings (they are so much more fun to wear, I think!), I’ve decided to make several matched pair. I’m loving using gemstones in my work! From left to right are ripple-formed sterling silver hoops from which 8x10mm rose cut garnets dangle. The pair in the center sport rose cut peridot with matte carnelian drops. The pair shown at right features 10mm cut lavender chalcedony cabochons and drops of rose cut peridot. I love all these and frankly, I think I can wear as mismatched sets with other earrings I’ve made recently.

I love where you could wear them either matched (symmetrical) or mismatched (asymmetrical). I’m still enough of OCD they would have to be coordinated. I used the patterns for the Warped Squares by Kim Van Antwerp to make my own asymmetrical earrings a few years back. I ended up selling a couple because some customers loved the look.
