Lilac Earrings and other signs of lifeThis is the first of 3 of the Lilac Pendants I made. It's one of my favorite art jewelry pieces that I've made. I enjoy using repeating elements. Each individual lilac flower has its own embossed texture, form and character. The centers of the lilacs are 22k gold granulation. There is a whole architecture behind the flowers that holds them to the hand forged sterling silver stem.
