This pair has a bit of history behind them.
Many years ago now
(probably about 10) I went to a mall in Atlantic City (NJ) and saw a jewelry
store. The jewelry was a bit abstract for me but it was still very nice and it
was very expensive. I always kept it in mind for present ideas for my uncles
who have very expensive taste. I thought I could save up the money to get
cufflinks or something. I had never heard of this designer before then but when
I brought home the booklet and my mother said it was a well-known jewelry
designer. It was call Baccarat.
Now fast forward to Spring/Summer 2015, Neil and I went for an outing to Cobham when he was recovering from his horrible back episode. We went and had lunch in a park in Cobham and then walked down the High Street browsing the charity shops. Chelsea had just won one of the many cup finals that year and I guess a lot of the players live in the area so Chelsea flags were everywhere (I hate Chelsea!). In one of the charity shops I saw this Baccarat necklace and snatched up especially since I know this could retail for about $200 and it was only £3.00. But I really do like it and I don’t have much if any black jewelry.
Now fast forward to
three weeks ago. I was having another night insomnia and while lying in bed I
thought I’ll make myself a pair of
earring to go with my Baccarat necklace because I don’t wear it as often as I
should. I have a nice pair of black chandelier earrings but they are a
different style. I decided to try to make a pair that would have the same sort
of swirl effect like the Baccarat necklace has. And since I still had some Onyx
beads left I decided to give it a try. So a few days later while playing some
old political panel shows I started messing around to see if I could make this
idea come to life. You may have seen the posts I put on FB and Twitter after
they were done.
