Sister Moon ‘Nobody’s perfect’ earrings
Sister Moon ‘Nobody’s perfect’ earrings
Sister moon earrings. These earrings are made with handmade fine silver (FS.999) crescent moon charms, faceted moonstone beads and Argenium (AS.960) silver ear wires. They are off-set to create visual interest and as a reminder to not take things too seriously. These earrings have great movement when worn. They are between approximately 2.25 & 2.75 inches long.
The Nobody’s Perfect series began one day in my studio as I was getting frustrated with trying to make a pair of silver charms for earrings match exactly. Mostly I was taking myself way too seriously. Then it hit me…there are no rules that say two earrings must match perfectly. No one is perfect anyway. I think at that point I laughed out loud. Then I drilled a second hole into one of those charms and made the very first pair of ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ earrings. For me.
I love the organic, imperfect nature of the material I work with. Art Clay Silver works like ceramic clay, but it’s made of powdered metal, so the end result is pure fine silver. Often, I leave fingerprints on the backs of my pieces as a reminder that perfectly pristine pieces are not my goal. I want to create jewelry that honors our individuality, and embraces our imperfections.
