I guess these were original temporals..
LOvely arrangement
They had chains originally that they hung from very long ones not in gold. I eliminated them because had them for years and no one would buy them (collectors pieces) so made them wearable. I made two pairs , one I sold and these for myself.
Wow Linda,
These are absolutely grogeous! How I am turquoise green with envy.
As originals I was dragging them around for years hoping to sell, and nothing. So I had a brain storm one night and it as a antique dealer was dastardly but as a designer was I thought very good, and so lo and behold I created from originals these wearable usable versions.. they look great on by the way!
Years ago and still I do create out of unusable or less usable jewelry new things to wear. To some it is genocide but to a designer it is a way of giving things new life and appreciation. I am on the fence about it and only do it under strict struggle to not have things go waste.
