Post-it note: Ele's earrings

So I've decided to do an experiment: I'll try to write tiny little notes to get me to post with some semblance of regularity. Let's see how this goes!

Tourmaline earrings for Ele

These are one of the latest earrings I've made. I'm really, really happy about how they turned out: elegant, colorful yet subtle, and very exotic. The colors are just yummy and were carefully chosen to achieve this gradating effect. These earrings are a gift for my maid of honor, who is wearing a gorgeous emerald green dress to the wedding. Her earrings combine luscious vessonite briolettes in a deep, almost forest green; refreshing lemon quartz briolettes (all the brios are from my personal stash); and some gorgeous micro faceted tourmaline briolettes from a strand Ele had purchased some time ago. She let me use the tourmalines in these cascading "helix" earrings, which are definitely one of my absolute favorite pieces ever.
