copper gears, silver-tone gears, copper wire, sterling silver ear hooks

What was your inspiration?

I tend to be drawn to more organic forms. Circles, for example, are a go-to shape for me. This project let me take my favorite shape and marry it with industrial elements, incorporating the mixed-metal trend.

Were the gears found items or did you fabricate them? I love the industrial look in jewelry. I am designing jewelry made out of fishing spinners but I have a long way to go before I'm happy enough with the design to show anyone.

At first glance, I thought those looked more rear bicycle wheels. :) But then again I'm a triathlon nut and that kind of thing is always on my mind. Lol. Way cute!

Thanks. I think I was drawn to the gears because they can be utilitarian but also pretty.
