Black Agate Shoulder-Skim Earrings

These shoulder skimming earrings are called “Slink”. Because, as you can see – they are quite slinky. They are made to be worn front on. So at the front you see a slim metal slink with the beautiful stone. And from the side – whoa! a whole different look.

The design is quite moveable and slinky – I love the movement in these little guys (or girls). They’re made of brass and silver-plated metals, and at the bottom they’ve got these really good size, approximately 2cm length black Agates, that are uniquely not completely black, but a little bit speckled with grey.

The design for these earrings actually came to me in a very interesting way. A young lady that I styled in my first opportunity to style a fashion show, She wore a pair of jeans and she was young and at the time all I saw was her age and her look. I styled her previously with the disco balls earrings that were sold.

But because she’s doing the second fashion show, which is actually tomorrow, I had a new/different vision for her jewelry – because she had chosen (this is a bit of a long story but I hope you’ll indulge me) to challenge herself to develop her inner strength by going on and presenting at the fashion show, because she had never done it before and as you would imagine it’s quite scary and I really admire her for that.

I think she was amazing at the first fashion show. She displayed her inner strength – it really came through, especially in the photos. I’m pretty sure that she might have felt a little bit differently internally, but, you know, that’s how we all go through life.

So these earrings’ design actually came to me specifically with her in mind. That’s why I chose the black Agates – because they are known to have the meaning of protection and inner strength.

And then the circles the circular design is very, very strong-looking, but yet it’s got all this flexibility and movement. So is you choose to get these for yourself, I wish for you that each time you put them on, it will really remind you of your inner strength.

It will remind you that your strength is not necessarily displayed when you’re at your toughest. Instead – your inner strength really comes through and is tested in those moments when you’re not sure and yet, you CHOOSE voluntarily to step into a challenge. To see how well you can handle it. It’s in those moments that your inner strength really shines through.

And yeah, I’m really grateful to have been a part of this young lady’s journey in a way. Of her putting herself into the path of that challenge and for actually withstanding it with such grace and such inner strength.
