I didn’t set out to make something special. I had seen these simple flower shapes a couple of times and I wanted to try to make them. It turned out to be fun!
The Materials: Imperfect, Yet Beautiful
I chose 6mm natural aquamarine stones. How did I decide to use them? As it is February now, I wondered what was the birthstone of March and I found it was aquamarine. I didn’t even know how it looked. I loved it. The stones I used have a wonderful milky shade of blue , somehow a quiet, calming presence.
I also found that aquamarine is often associated with the sea, clarity, and peace. I love how each stone is slightly different—some clearer, some with tiny inclusions like little frozen waves. That’s the beauty of working with natural materials: they remind you that perfection isn’t uniformity but character.
The wire I used is silver-plated copper, a material has the beauty of silver but is way more affordable. I shape and wrap each piece by hand, embracing the organic imperfections that come with handmade work. Even the ear wires are made from scratch, ensuring that every element belongs together.
The Design: Light and Subtle
I wanted these earrings to feel light, both physically and visually. They’re small and delicate, meant to complement rather than overpower. I imagined them being worn daily—something that becomes familiar, almost second nature, like a favorite sweater or a well-loved book.
I actually made a pair of the earrings from copper wire for myself, with 4 mm jadeite stones. I varnished them for the copper to be the most protected and I now take them off only when I shower. They’re so comfortable that I even sleep with them. Here they are:
Now let’s return to the silver plated ones. I took more photos so I will share them for you to see them from different angles.
Who Are These Earrings For?
I suppose for someone like me. Maybe for someone who loves small, intricate things. Maybe for someone who appreciates handmade work with all its quirks. Or maybe just for someone who sees them and feels a quiet connection—because in the end, jewelry is deeply personal.
I’m always honored when people choose to wear something I’ve made. It’s a strange and beautiful feeling to know that a piece of wire and stone, shaped by my hands, will become part of someone else’s life.
If you do end up with these earrings, I hope they bring you the same joy they brought me while making them.
