Miss Molly Button Earrings with Saphiret rhinestones

Nüüd on see tehtud. Võtsin julguse kokku ja lammutasin ühe antiikse prossikese ära. See oli ümmargune ning Saphiret kivid olid ringikujuliselt prossi servas. Kivi, mis pidi prossi keskel olema, oli läinud kaduma. Lähemalt saab lugeda Saphiret klaasist siin. Kõrvarõngad on tumedates toonides, saphiret klaasi punakaspruun ning vanade käsitsi tehtud (!) 1-2mm klaaspärlite beež toon sulab kokku antiikvaskse metalliga. Saphiret klaasi sinist helki õnnestus mul natuke ka fotole jäädvustada ent päriselus on see kivi palju ilusam :)

Now I've done it. I took apart an antique saphiret brooch for harvesting the stones. The brooch was round shaped and the saphiret rhinestones were in circle on the edge. The bigger stone in the middle was lost. You can read more about saphiret glass here. Earrings are in dark colors with red brown of the saphirets and beige color of handmade (!) 1-2mm glass pearls blend together with antique copper metal. I managed to get some of the saphirets blue light on photos but these stones look a lot prettier in person :)
