I love the Celtic flower shape. I made these earrings from stainless steel wire and natural purple amethyst stone chips. Finished them with sterling silver hooks for maximum comfort, even for sensitive ears.
I used 22 gauge (0.8 mm) stainless steel 304 wire. It is hard to shape in this floral structure but I love the challenge. I also love the feeling when my fingers hurt but the flower is finished. And most of all, I love the feeling that I get when I have polished the whole thing to mirror shine. It’s beautiful.
Anyway, about the other details. I used tiny amethyst chips attached to a 24 gauge (0.4 mm) steel wire. Amethyst is February’s birthstone. Also, it is an alternative birthstone for people born in November. This beautiful crystal is believed to have calming and spiritual energy, often associated with peace, protection, and inner balance. Most of all, it has a gorgeous purple color.
Then I made sterling silver hooks from 20 g (0.8 mm) wire. I hammered the endings of the hooks – I think they look more pleasant this way.
So, I added these dangling flower earrings to my collection. I plan to add variations with different stones. Like citrine, garnet, turquoise or aventurine. And I want to a silver variation of them – sterling silver only. Will add them here when I do so.
These earrings with a slight boho feel are available for sale at my Etsy store here. I ship them in a stylish black jewelry box, so they are ready for gifting. 🙂
