Golden Rutilated Quartz Earrings

by Amy Pulliam
(Philadelphia, PA)

The earrings are composed of faceted, golden rutilated quartz and labradorite rondelles- two stones that I am obsessed with at the moment. They are suspended from hammered brass rings, a component that I've been incorporating into my most recent designs. The red brass really helps to pull out the golden veins within the quartz that make them so, so appealing. They turned out just lovely and I plan to make more in other stones and metals. This pair was made for a friend's birthday, but I think they would make wonderful bridal or bridesmaid accessories.

Thanks for the opportunity to submit our work. This is my first submission to Jewelry Making Now and I look forward to many more!
