Another set of earrings in progress

I am working on a more affordable set of Tigre Mesa Turquoise earrings.  They are solid sterling instead of mixed with 14k gold. They also don't feature a second stone. As you can imagine, making earrings is double the work of making a ring!! Earrings are often quite expensive because of this.

The wire rope border adds a nice detail without taking away from the gorgeous stones! The backside features a rustic kind of faded pattern.
