Got a little worried about how delicate these earrings were..........so I tested them out! Some of the jewelry I make can appear to be "too fragile" to wear, so I end up trying them out to determine whether they are wearable or not. I have had some pieces break on me. Either at the bar or a coffee shop, sometimes pieces die before you expect them to. It's beautiful in a way to witness a piece on the brink of collapse, because I'm always learning more about nature and the process of transformation........but I try hard to make each object live a long happy life.
