The Bromeliad Cascades – Amethyst, Pink Pearl and Opal Chandelier Earrings…Reminiscent of beautiful bromeliad cascades, these absolutely gorgeous earrings remind of a flower garden in full bloom. With two jaw dropping onion brio focals totaling over 20 carats worth of flawless and beautifully faceted AAA Amethyst, these earrings are not for the faint of heart. Hovering below is a bed of faceted Amethyst rounds and pink dyed button pearls, with a beautiful pink Peruvian Opal faceted barrel bead. All of these beautiful components are securely handwired to a wire wrapped frame and hang from handshaped vermeil earwires.

Due to the size of the Amethysts, these earrings are more on the heavy side weighing in at approximately 1.25 ounces each.

This piece is part of my “Inspired” collection. Inspired by Jujem71′s photo Matchstick on Flickr.

The earrings are 2 5/8″ (6.67cm) long from the top of the earwire. All metal is 14kt gold-filled or vermiel.

These are one-of-a-kind. Once they are sold, I cannot remake this pair of earrings!

What I realized is that I truly miss making jewelry. Sitting there in-between customers, I had the chance to work on a new piece and it was a great. Wrapping the wire around the frame I hammered into submission, selecting stones to match and putting it all together. It was as if I was still making jewelry on an everyday basis. It was as if all the creativity I thought I had lost was still right there.

Should I make this a necklace or earrings?

So I’ve decided that I’m just going to have to make time weekly to create. Now, just to add two more hours to the day…Everyone’s up for 26 hour days, right?

So as I was reading through some of my blogs, I ran across a post by Felicia at Fluffy Flowers about a challenge called “Use What You Have, Stash Buster, I Will Not Buy Anymore Fabric No Matter How Dirt Cheap it Is” found on Karyn’s Trail Mix blog.

While clearly I don’t do anything with fabric, the idea intrigued me so much that I thought it would be a great to participate. I mentioned it to Felicia and with her gentle prodding and the A-OK from Karyn in another post for all crafters to join even though their stash is not fabric, I signed up for the Flickr group. So now, I am committed to no new bauble purchases through the end of July. Good thing that I have a ton of items that have never even been used!

Below is my first piece for the stash busting challenge. I bought this shell pendant over a year ago when I was on a large pendant kick and then I never did anything with it. This is what I was led to make with the teardrop – inspired by an Eni Oken design from one of her tutorials. I haven’t attached the chain yet and I still need to clean it, but I was really excited that I finally decided what to do with it!!

If you’d like to see what I started with, here is a picture of the unadorned shell pendant.

I didn’t purchase Eni’s tutorial for the technique. I just guessed at the construction of it, but I may purchase the tutorial later on to compare notes. It was a nice challenge and I’m very pleased with how the piece came out. Do you like?
