Cherry Blossoms
Artist: Paula Chan (Oakland, CA)
Additional Top Pick, Gemstones & Pearls
"Cherry blossoms in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park inspired this necklace and earring set, the first new buds opening in Spring, before the entire tree is covered. By this project, I have become very proficient at wire wrapping, so everything but the necklace drop was attached by wire wrapping. The necklace drop I decided to leave "free floating" by running the chain through a jump ring to give the piece more movement." — Paula Chan
This simple but elegant set was made using rose quartz briolettes, rose-colored Swarovski® crystal beads and pink corn pearls for the dangles.
Additional Top Picks are designs our editor especially liked despite the fact that they did not win a formal prize. These designs are often simple, practical and/or whimsical examples of how to use Rings & Things components well.
