Artisan jewelry, by Wikipedia:
Artisan jewelry dates back as far as 7000 BC, when gold and copper began to be sculpted to adorn the human form, and the practice continues today. Although rarely price-competitive with machine-made items, artisan handmade jewelry is prized for its uniqueness, variety, and beauty. Reflecting the talents of the artisan onto the wearer, the broad spectrum of artisan jewelry is available to provide satisfaction to royalty, rock stars, and "everyday folk."

This small pair of earrings with dangling movement is perfect for everyday wear. They were oxidized for a natural feel and tumbled for strength.
This piece is part of the Circles and Knots line. I've been working with knots since my earliest days making artisan jewelry. I love the organic, rustic twist of the knots. They are all made one by one so there's never two equal, and this is part of what fascinates me so I keep on making them. Each earring, bracelet or necklace I make with these knots have the particular impression of the moment they were created. The different circles, besides adding volume and lightness, offer me more to play with.

I listed one of the first pieces of this collection, let me know what do you think...


I slightly oxidized the sterling silver tubes and added the silver bead to complete the piece with movement. They can be replaced with 5mm stone beads such as lapizlazuli, garnet, aventurine, carnelian or amethyst.

It's late and I'm going to sleep very soon. I wanted to post this: today is my son's 18th birthday (my becoming a mom aniversary),also today he played Led Zepellin in a show, in a couple of days is the HS graduation ceremony and soon the orientation at the university where he is planning to study Jazz Music!!!I'm proud, deeply touched, and enjoying a calm inner happiness watching him becoming such a handsome and talented young man!

Today I listed this pair of earrings. I accomplished what I looked for, sinuous movement, caressing presence, and I adore the iridiscent seed beads. I want them in my collection!

Hello everybody! Welcome to aroluna ! I'm starting from scratch in the blogging experience...I'm planning to share my pieces and other interesting things that are going on in the hand made world and around. For a start I want to present the earrings that became my avatar for the moment. As you see I love inter twining silver. I'm not very good at descriptions, particularly because English is not my first language, and my handsome teenage sons are a little tired of mom asking to check, so please bare with my idiomatic expressions and just look, and if you want to add a comment, you're very welcome.See you around...
