Komplekt "Mustlane" / "Gypsy" Set


Komplekt sai alguse sellest, kui tahtsin teha kobarkõrvarõngaid rattakujuliste helmetega. Kobarad tulid liiga jurakad ja seega jätsin selle mõtte sinnapaika. Kinnitasin kaks kobarat omavahel ja sellest sai kaelakee keskosa. Kasutasin klaashelmeid, vasest traati ja komponente ning et veidi läiget lisada, ka kullatud helmeid. Kõrvarõngad tegin lihtsad. Minu arvates on see komplekt mustlaste stiilis.


I started to make a pair of cluster earrings with wheel-shaped beads, but the clusters turned out too big and robustious. So I left that idea and attached these two clusters: that's the focal part of the necklace. I used glass beads, copper wire and components. I also wanted to add some shine so I used gold plated beads. I made a pair of simple but matching earrings. I think this set is quite gypsy style.
