Variations on a Theme

Today I have three new variations on an earring theme. I've had a bad cold, so the most work in the studio that I could muster was fusing together components with some heavy wire to make these new dangles. Available now in my Etsy shop.

The first variation uses medium rock roses with double small leaves on either side.

The second variation has  single large rock roses with medium leaves below. The heavy wires in both cases are about the same length, but more curved in these.

The final version has double small rock roses with medium leaves below and a couple of berries. 

All in all, a fun set that were easy to fuse together because of the properties of Argentium sterling silver.
