I started off wanting to create another pair of blue earrings. So, I thought about what I have seen that was blue and beautiful. The ocean! Have you ever seen a beautiful blue wave cresting into a magnificent splash of white? Gorgeous!

Flower on a Vine Earrings


Design by Angèle van Diessen

When I saw these peridot acrylic flowers, they reminded me of those beautiful green vines with delicate tendrils curling around the dainty flowers that bloomed off the vine.  Since the flower was already green, I paired it with cream Swarovski pearls as the vine that curves around the jawline.  The sterling silver wire spirals around to add another delicate tendril.  I hung a short fern green Swarovski crystal vine to add more dimension while staying within the color palette.  And, to balance out the top with the fullness of the flower at the bottom, I hung from the top another tendril with a peridot green Swarovski crystal bicone.
