Jewelry

So my obsession with aesthetics/design/fashion/beautiful objects has finally traversed into the land of Jewelry. Which I recognize is a dangerous land. Ironically, this was partially brought on by my realization that I can "make" any jewelry in our Jewelry Studio here at school. But I'm now wondering if I'll be persistent enough, and I think I'm still in the "well how hard could it be" mindset right now.

My first project I think will be to make a pair of huge earrings, which I've been on the lookout for since last fall, basically to no avail.

Look at this pair of earrings. Oh. my.... I wonder how difficult it would be to make something like this...

Erickson Beamon Medieval Swarovski drop earrings $400

Brass plated drop earrings with black, gray and blue Swarovski crystal embellishment. Erickson Beamon earrings have spiked charms, thick chain body with thin chain overlay, are for pierced ears and have a clear butterfly to fasten to the ear. Drop of earring measures approximately 11cm / 4 inches.

This is admittedly jewelry porn right here. I think it'd be really satisfying to create a piece like this. The difficulty might be completing one earring and persisting to create the next one at the same level of quality haha. Anyway, I will hopefully further update about this topic.
