Artist's Comments

This is my second take on the earring of Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier. The prototype had a frame that's too angular and small, and was wired with beading wire (yikes).

I couldn't find a square-shaped blue crystal (well I did find one but it looked loads cheap), so I settled for an oval shaped one.

The metal frame is not made of metal (how I wish it was though), it's some metallic plastic material that I see in other women's earrings. I bought a large oval-shaped one, cut out the shape, and bent it a bit to add some volume to it. That means if I sat down on this earring, there is a chance that it will get bent :P

The purple jewel is made out of glass, already available in that exact shape in the bead shop.

Sorry, not for sale, I don't sell jewelry that's not in good quality. The frame might get damaged even through shipping!

Thanks for comment, if I could find a way to make the frame much more stronger (that doesn't involve melting metal), I would probably sell it :P

It looks really gorgeous - it's a pity it's not more robust, but still, extra kudos for figuring out how to make something so close to perfect without having to deal with hot metal! Lovely job! ^^

DECULTURE!

But if it were actually made of fold quartz, then it would be YACK DECULTURE!
