Recreating Older Pieces

Sometimes recreating an older design is not always an easy task. I just got the opportunity to do so yesterday as a customer had me recreate my Seafoam Chalcedony Gypsy Drop earrings.

An absolutely beautiful pair of earrings, I was fairly sure I wouldn’t be able to find the focal stones from the same supplier I purchased them originally. It has been over a year since I purchased them and the likelihood of finding the same stones was pretty slim.

So, imagine how happy I was to have found the last 2 stones in my stash! (I try to be fairly organized, but there are some things that just get lost in the clutter.) The only other obstacle to making the earrings was that I no longer had the same chain (mainly because the price is so cost prohibitive) – same with the earwires.

Luckily, the customer was open to my using a different chain. (I forgot to ask about the earwires.) After doing some more scouring, I found just enough left over chain from another project that I felt would be a better fit for the earrings.

I’m glad I was asked to recreate them. I definitely think this pair is much prettier than the originals. And if you have anything you want me to recreate from my Gallery pages, just ask!
