Hoops and Circles



Been busy this week - made more than a couple hoops  and jump rings.  Why do hoop earrings look good on everyone?  One of the standards, I guess.  The never-ending circle -  of course I made several way too gigantic - but I think they remind me of summer so I'm going to wear a pair all week!

I've also been sawing circles from sterling, texturizing and concaving them, and putting them in liver of sulpher to oxidize the insides.  I've then polished the back and edges and hung a little pearl in the center.  I like the way they turned out - and think I'll send them to my niece.
