Petite Hoop Earrings






I am rather fond of hammered hoop earrings, but I find the traditional 'créoles' don't necessarily suit a rounded jawline, so I like to use brushed & hammered circles as part of a pendant design instead. This weekend I started off the new year by making several pairs of mini hoop earrings in gold and silver adorned with garnet, lapis and citrine. I think they will be just perfect for pepping up work outfits in gloomy January.
