I love the quartz family of stones. They’re durable and affordable, which makes them great for everyday jewellery. They come in a wide variety of colours, which makes them really versatile.
Since I’m still trying to catch up, I decided to go rummaging through my components box and pull together some bits to make this pair of earrings. Earlier in the year I took apart a bunch of old jewellery that hadn’t sold. I saved the pieces, because they were well made, and, quite frankly, if I can save a few minutes by using a recycled pair of earwires rather than making up new ones, why not?
Anyways, the celtic spiral I used here was once part of a bracelet. Now they make a nice pair of earrings.
