Roots of the Jewellery - Earrings

For the last design project I choose earrings. 

I want them to be a reflection of delicacy. The way the cord wrap around the stone and stainless steel accessories is very smooth, like the side of a river. 

At the same time the color I chose for them are very expressive: smoky red and green. Shades of red are associated with the colors that native people chose to pain their faces, Green symbolizes their strong bond with nature.  

Face paint

Another important element is the addition of natural stone. In this case, I chose moss agate. The reason why i do that is because moss agate looks like the green from every place from the whole word was enclosed in it. Like the all the flora was locked in this stone.
