    Here is my entry for the August competition. A pair of earrings made from the all the little cut offs of sterling wire on my desk. They, I think, signify the Kanji for summer, though for all I know they may not and may indeed say "trade round the back" :0)

    Great idea and not a fork in sight. Hope you're right about the translation.

    Default Blue Skies.

    This design for drop earrings has become a standard for me, using different coloured stones. It just started with a series of sketches, but seeing my first effort being worn I realised that doubling up the bow would make it much more substantial and three dimensional.

    Here is one with Swiss blue topaz for the blue skies of summer, my non-competitive entry, Dennis.

    Beautiful as ever Dennis. Great to see your working drawings and I have to say the top design was my favourite.
