The earrings are composed of faceted, golden rutilated quartz and labradorite rondelles- two stones that I am obsessed with at the moment. They are suspended from hammered brass rings, a component that I've been incorporating into my most recent designs. The red brass really helps to pull out the golden veins within the quartz that make them so, so appealing. They turned out just lovely and I plan to make more in other stones and metals. This pair was made for a friend's birthday, but I think they would make wonderful bridal or bridesmaid accessories.
As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to wait until I edited the photos before I posted them to the blog. I used a free trial version of Aperture 3 that I downloaded this morning, and was quite happy with the results. I've been searching for a photo editing program for our new computer for quite sometime now, and I've been curious about Aperture. I'd love to purchase Photoshop, but can't quite afford that right now. So far, it seems that Aperture might do just what I need it to do. Have any of your had any experience with this program? If so, I'd love to hear you thoughts and/or suggestions!
