Asymmetric Earring to Pendant Set with Medley of Semi-precious Stones
These are genuinely one of my favorite pieces I’ve produced (if not THE). Not just because they’re so quirky and colourful, but also because they’re called Angels!
They’re fun and light-hearted, AND elegant. Which is why they’ll go with any outfit – even a sulky black number (except you won’t be able to be sulky for too long ;o)
In terms of the design: it came to me from the urge to put together geometric shapes in an intricate framework. I had in mind to use different texture metals and stones, as well as different colours – but without looking like a circus.
The shape of an Angel appeared organically as I was playing with the positioning of some shapes I’d made. For me a lot of design works on the feeling I get, as I follow where the metals take me. It either feels/looks right, or uncomfortable, or just wrong… sometimes I can’t even say why…
The stones I used are a deliberate medley of colours and fun: pink Corals, pink Opals, Golden Citrines, and green and blue Apatites (I’ve linked out to the meanings of each of the stones in case you enjoy those stories). But to the senses – this is an invite to play. Innocently and cheekily. To push the line a little in a good-hearted way. To state a ‘secret message’ to yourself and others – intentionally.
