Remember Angelina Jolie's $2.5 million Lorraine Schwartz Emerald teardrop dangles that she wore at the 2009 Oscar? It was truly a knockout and many "inspired pieces" soon emerge in the market after that.
Last year, I created a pendant using the round and pear shaped rivolis, which has the same design element as this pair of earrings. However, after seeing Angelina's beautiful Emerald earrings, I am very much inspired to create one as well. Here's my version of the Emerald earring (I have made only one unit).I have used t
he Swarovski Crystal Emearld Rivoli 10.7mm with a vintage Swarovski Crystal Turmaline Teardrop Rivoli 13mm for the earring. They are both stitched with Tubular Peyote and joined together. Personally, I would have preferred the size of the teardrop to be much larger than the round rivoli and if possible, both to be in the same Emerald colour. (The Turmaline green looks a little Olive.)
The second pair of earrings is made with Siam rivolis and the scale of the stones work better in this project. (10.7mm round with 14x10mm teardrop)If you are not into earrings, you may change the position of the bail and turn it into a sweet pendant which works beautifully as well.
