The Yucca Dangles
This earring design has been living in my mind just waiting to be brought to life!! Initially I wanted the accents to curve more, reminiscent of a paisley shape. But as I created the accents I loved the straight edge and now all I can see is a yucca plant! I am obsessed. Now I want to make the bottom fan for the spikes and yucca blossom detailing up top to make the whole plant. I think that would be so cool. For over a year I’ve been trying to figure out how I could make a yucca inspired piece without it being clunky and I think this is it! I can’t wait to make more earrings like this. I’ve missed wearing big earrings and these fit the bill perfectly without being too heavy.
I documented the whole process from sketch to final polish. You can find the short form version on my Instagram, Part One & Part Two. I’m currently editing the long form studio vlog to go up on my YouTube, stay tuned!
These earrings go live on the Jewelry page today, July 17th, at 6pm central time.
