Poppy pod earrings gemstone I added a gold layer

I added a gold layer to the center of the flower

which has a beautiful rich gold color that contrasts well with the silver textured background

The ring is not entirely seamless

The sapphire ass a beautiful pale seafoam blue color and has facets that give the stone a sparkle

The hammered texture catches the light and makes the silver sparkle

Poppy pod earrings gemstone I added a gold layerI make these tiny poppy pods from the pods of small red poppies I sow each year in my garden. They are made using Precious Metal Clay, which after firing leaves 99. 9% pure silver. The posts and ear nuts are sterling silver. I added patina to bring out the beautiful radial pattern. Please let me know if you prefer them without patina. The diameter of the pods is 5 mm 0. 2 inch.
