Turquoise and Etched Islamic Earrings

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Ethnic, Formal / Bridal


Materials

turquoise, copper sheet, fancy sterling silver bezel wire, photo-etching, sterling silver chain, pre-fab earwire

What was your inspiration?

Temples, palaces and mosques I visited while in Tunisia.

What are you most proud of?

I am proud of the fine detail in the etching, and the very cleanly soldered bezel wire.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Transfer a pattern as fine as this many times, expect only 1 in 10 transfers to adhere successfully.
