Sunstone Copper Hoop Earrings

Frankly, this design decided to come up while I was in the shower (I know – too much info…) But the original inspiration may have been seeded by a story about Brigitte Bardot in Vogue. I can’t say I had a conscious thought of: “this is what I want to take from this design and I’d like to evolve it like that.” I just had to get out of the shower fast, and to a pencil and paper… well – you can see the raw sketch in the storyboard above.

Then came the decision about the type of stone I wanted to use. And seeing the design was so akin to the Sun… it was a no-brainer – I chose Sunstone. I LOVE its iridescence – it makes you happy no matter what mood you’re in.

I tried to capture some of that ‘Sun’ in the photos, but there’s nothing like seeing them move in reality. There’s no angle that sends you the same colour message – each view is a new story.

Sunstones are believed to bring confident radiance and wise, motivational presence – especially if you’re looking to help others.

For me, these earrings, bring unconditional brightness and radiance. Just like seeing the sun at any stage of the day! Sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between.

So if you want a lightness and a smile in your day, or a warmth that’s unconditional and independent of others’ moods – these will not fail you. The slightly larger size serves great for transition between day and night, smart AND casual. Multi-situational, versatile and never dull.

How does that sit with your current self-state? The jewellery you choose for yourself each day can serve you as a signal to yourself about how you want to show up that moment – for yourself but also to others. It’s a subtle but immutable and hard to ignore message of intent – and expression of you at that time.

That’s a nice tool to have at your disposal :o)
