Today is the second in a series of designs I'm showing of the pieces I'm creating with Nina Design materials.
I love these bronze bubble links from Nina. I thought about including multiple stones from each of the loops, but these bubble links really need to stand on their own.
I decided to hang a setting from the bottom loop to accentuate the design. I paired them with a small square majapahit spacer, also from Nina, two wave brush gold discs and multiple gold chain. I love the wave discs; their shape reminds me of potato chips! I gave the discs an extra twist to show off the flare in their waves.
I used a double wire loop (tutorial on double wire loop here) with a fine gauge gold fill wire (26g GF) which gives me a lot of flexibility to wrap the wire. Lastly, I used a kidney wire for the setting as I wanted to give some length to this design.
I don't normally use only metal for my settings as I am forever looking to add beads to almost anything and everything I make. But I like how these look with all the various types of gold sheen.

I do like the bubble, and the spacer plus the terrific textured potato chips are great. This all metal earring is ideal.
ReplyDeleteI saw those and thought of Mickey Mouse! But then again, I'm a Disney addict! Good idea to let the bubbles stand on their own!
