About this design:
On receiving the Spring Rain kit, my thoughts went to standing in a gentle spring rain with water running down your face and hair, raindrops trickling down your nose, ears, eyelashes.
This pair of asymmetrical earrings includes one that wraps around the top of the ear with the floral drop hanging at the front of ear. It's laid out pretty much as it would hang from someone's ear.
Components:
Spring Rain Kit, Gunmetal Flat Oval & Ring Chain, Gilders Paste in African Bronze, Antique Gold, Copper, and Patina, and diluted Diamond Glaze.Additional Images:

B Krueger says:Thank you for your kind words. I wanted to try an ear cuff, but didn’t have the wire for it. So I went with an ear wrap so I could drape the longer drop in front of the ear.
I love gilders paste, but am also looking forward to trying the Vintaj patinas.
