say hello to Alma and Ben, earrings

antique assemblage earrings

I'm not sure what I will call this pair, maybe Alma & Ben. They were described as love tokens in the auction I won, but they look more like they were cut from some other existing piece of silver, since there is cutwork on the backs. At any rate, they're silver. And the coral bits are coral, originally from an antique necklace that belonged to my grandmother. The string disintegrated, so I've had this box of coral pieces with drilled holes, thinking I'd eventually use them for something, and lo and behold: Alma & Ben.

astounding

That's the word that came to mind when I first saw this work of art.

I was so taken by the artistry and craft that I had to make a treasury in tribute.

Okay, enough with the treasuries;  I need to post these new necklaces to my Etsy shop.

And work on the white balance (!)
