Clusters

$85.00 $100.00

The Cluster Series is a visual and visceral response to color. Gemstone beads come in a wild variety of color and cut. When stacked on a wire they can become units in a miniature sculpture. The endless possibilities and color combinations I can find remind me of the vibrant plastic beads of my childhood and the prismatic penny candies I used to covet at the neighborhood candy store. These appetizing combinations are clustered to satisfy my desire for indulgence. A joyful statement dangling from the ear with a dazzling drip of shine and richness anchored with a curve of steel that brings structure and punctuation to the terminal elements. These earrings are gemmy snacks for a jewelry sweet tooth.
