Leaf Earrings for the Amazonite Bracelet

This is my new thing: matching large earrings with bracelets, not with pendants or necklaces. As much as I disliked large earrings in the past, before I started designing jewelry, I prefer them now to smaller earrings, probably because I find it easier to design large pieces, my creativity flows more freely when I have a larger surface to work on. Unfortunately large earrings don't go very well with necklaces, so in the future whenever the central piece of a design is a larger pair of earrings, I'll match it with a bracelet (or maybe a ring), and design necklaces separately (with or without earrings).

So here are the earrings I made for the Amazonite Leaf Bracelet.





And here is the complete set. Again, I'm absolutely in love with its rustic feel:

Leaf Bracelet 3, with amazonite

And here's the third variation for the Leaf bracelet... I don't have a matching pair of earrings and/or a pendant for it, though I did make something similar, with Peridots a long time ago.

For this bracelet I used some very nice AA 4 mm faceted round Amazonite beads... though sadly they reacted with the LOS (or the copper, I don't know) and they've lost their beautiful blue color, and acquired a hint of grey: this might be some kind of an illusion though, next to the copper they might appear less bright than by themselves. The bracelet looks beautiful, nonetheless, it has a rustic elegance that I seem to like a lot lately.
