I started this series of posts on my Water-colored glass jewelry with a very old favorite, the Cameo Earrings. It seems only right to also share this newer angle on ovals which I introduced as part of the Tendrils Collection. While they may not seem closely related to the Short Tendrils Earrings I wrote about recently, the wide ribbon of silver fits right in with the larger Ribbon Earrings and Necklaces you'll also find in the collection.
An angled oval of silver frames an elegant teardrop of sun-melted glass.
Years before, when I was working on the jewelry made from slices from the necks of glass bottles for the Circular Motion Collection, I had the idea to incorporate an angled slice from a bottle neck. Unfortunately, the thickness of that much bottle glass was too heavy for a pair of earrings (at least for me! I can't handle heavy earrings at all), so I had to shelve the notion. But when I was developing the Tendrils Collection and the Ribbon Earrings and Necklaces I saw how a similar silver form could fit right in.
Check out the whole Tendrils Collection in my shop now to see the rest of the Ribbon jewelry!
