Blue Skies

Instructions

I wanted the earrings to incorporate both the blue coral and Bali Silver, but with a round shape. I used 24 gauge silver-filled wire to wire the coral in place on an open, round flower-shaped Bali Silver bead frame. I finished off on the back with interesting wire-spirals so that if the dangle part of the earring gets turned around when worn, even the back-side is attractive.
