Wire wrapped Earrings Abstract With Square Crystals Of Blue, Purple And Green

These wire wrapped silver dangle earrings with square crystals are another pair from my modern art collection. I started with the three crystals and liked the way the blue, purple and green looked together. I then debated whether I should frame them with copper or silver, but decided that silver wire worked better with the cool colors.

The trick with these, as with all of my earrings, was getting them to be symmetrical, but I think I did a pretty good job! I like how the square crystals play against the slightly nebulous shape of the silver wire frame.

On another note, I can't believe how international this blog is getting! I have readers from all over the world, including India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Russia. And for some reason, I've had many Egyptian viewers this weekend. So cool! I'm honored that you found my blog and checked in, so thank you! It's nice to know that my words from New York City are being read thousands of miles away.

Silver spiral earrings with green and yellow Swarovski crystals

The spiral is one of the basic shapes you should know if you're going to be a wire artist, but more than that, it's beautiful to look at. Think of how many things in nature are a spiral: the inside of a shell, a galaxy, a hurricane. I love the infinite nature of it, how you can keep going around and around, but the circle doesn't really end.

I wanted to do something simple with the spiral where this would be the primary shape in the piece of jewelry, so I decided to just go with single spiral earrings. However, I didn't want them to be plain silver, so I added a couple of Swarovski crystals to each. I really love blue, but I went with a variant on it, using green and yellow instead. I like the warm, bright colors and think they add just enough flash to the earrings.

Wire lattice earrings with blue crystals

One of my favorite patterns to make is the nine-loop lattice design. It's not only fun to twist the loops, but it's a very beautiful and useful pattern. You can link the squares together to form a larger pattern, turn the square sideways to make a diamond, hang gems from the lattice ... the possibilities are endless.

I've always liked the combination of brown and blue so when I got this antiqued-looking brown gunmetal wire, I immediately decided to combine it with ble crystals. I wanted to do something different from just dangling one gemstone so I decided to weave the crystals throughout. I love the way the blue sparkles against the brown. I haven't seen too many earrings like this so I'm proud of the work.

Eventually, I plan to make a matching gunmetal lattice necklace. That'll be way more work, though because I'll have to make the entire chain by hand. It'll be worth it, though, especially if these pieces are worn as a set.
