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
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!
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! ^^

DeviantART is counting down to its 100 millionth deviation! Join in on the fun and take a look back at some of the most noteworthy deviations we've seen along the way. The deviant who uploads the 100 millionth deviation could win a special prize, too. Hurry, we're going to hit the 100 million mark soon!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
