My name is Glamorosi; this is my first week participating in the Philly Makes project. I am a full-time jewelry designer with several online shops – you can see them all and find out more about my work on my blog.For the theme “Before and After” I made two-tone chainmaille earrings with rose gold plated centers and sterling silver borders in a weave called European 4-in-1. Every single ring is opened and closed by hand, with special attention paid to the closures so that no gaps or sharp edges remain. I love making chainmaille of all sizes, but I especially enjoy the discipline of working with small rings - it is both relaxing and addictive.
The earrings measure 2.5 inches long from the top of the ear wire; you can get a closer view by clicking on the photo.
