Carlie and I have had side by side work benches for almost 40 years. Although we collaborate at the idea level a great deal and borrow ideas and inspirations from each other constantly we haven't done a lot of collaborative pieces on which we both work. These earrings are one way we do that. I do a lot of sawing and piercing of shapes and have really refined that technique so in this case I made the top piece with the copper lotus design. I then gave it to Carlie and she used it to create these great earrings. The bottom stones are chrysoprase and Orissa garnets, on the ear wires are fresh water pearls. Made in 2009.
