Spring/Summer Roses

I don't know if it's the change in temperature here in Dubai (I must get my car a/c fixed before it's too late!!!), the reports of excellent spring weather in the UK, beautiful blooming flowers (mine seem to be struggling!!), the impending summer plans that need finalizing or all of the above that inspired the following pieces.

I first made this delicate design about 3 years ago however I only made the earrings and ring.  As with most of my designs the idea was one that I made initially as an experiment for my own collection however they have proven quite popular as I have recreated them for customers.  The thing I love most about this design is that no two pieces can ever be the same.  Not even a pair of earrings.  The technique used to make them doesn't allow for exact replicas.


I suppose this is an apt design for this month as well.  I've called it The Rose design however it could easily be The English Rose! What with "The Royal Wedding" just a week away!
