Last Minute Earrings for Illuxcon...

"Golden Fox"

(Earrings)   Price: $40.00  SOLD 

The night before we left on our roadtrip to Illuxcon nearly two weeks ago, I realized when packing things up that I didn't have any new earrings for my display, there. So I made a cup of tea and started my usual rummaging of the beads and bits to find some inspiration. I'd gotten a new shipment of tiny 14k gold elements to play with a few weeks before that came with some coveted Kitsune fox masks. They paired beautifully with autumnal brown Czech pressed glass leaves from my stash. Simple but lush.

 

"Black Dragon Jade"

(Earrings)  Price: $40.00  SOLD 

I had a lot of gold findings splayed about my tiny workplace and of course, that always calls to my stash of Serpentine jade beads. I've been hoarding a short string of larger carved beads among them and I decided to showcase two of them as earrings. Layered decorative posts with engraved gold spacer beads at the bottom, and then the aforementioned Serpentine Jade in all of their glory, topped by my fave engraved cube gold spacers. The black beads are Black Onyx incised with 14k gold Chinese dragons, topped with 14k gold tube spacers. I'm not sure if I'd class them as 'perfume bottle shapes' or 'temple lanterns', but the choice is an evocative one. 

 

 

 "Golden Moon Jade"

(Earrings)  Price: $ 30.00 

Well, working to a cosmic theme, these are a simple moon motif. Gold tone metals and Serpentine Jade beads. Crescent Moon and Stars in gold, and a glowy Serpentine Jade 'shining' full Moon below. 

 

Received lots of love on these beauties. Hope to get back to creating pretty things real soon. 
Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,
