Change it up

I've been investing more time and energy into the concept of changeable jewelry, sketching, working with paper models, thinking through the engineering.

I returned to my Translate Earrings which I decided need some alternate back pieces.  Whats the good of changeable earrings if you can't really change them?

So I made a two sided back piece thats pale blue on one side and dark blue on the other and a pale pink/burgandy set. What other colors choices do you think people might like to see? I'm thinking maybe green too.



Each piece has only had a preliminary sanding - they'll some more sort of finish. Maybe some highlighting of the scratched surface. And I'll probably add some minimal carved texture to each - maybe just one of those single dots placed asymmetrically, like on the grey ones. ( The front "bell" shape can be worn alone or with one of the colored shapes which slide easily onto the back.)
