I had cut and polished these two turquoise stones with the intention of using them in a future earring design. They had been lying on my bench for a while and one day I happened to notice them adjacent to a sheet of copper I had acquired for another project and was blown away by the combination of rich colors. From there, the idea to construct and add feathers to the design just seemed like a no-brainer.

These earrings would be a fantastic compliment to a variety of casual clothing styles. They were definitely a hoot to make.

Thank you for looking.
