Scraps and Rubies...
A rather odd pair of earrings - 18ct gold - red (thin sheet and little bits of wire) and yellow (wire, flattened and textured) - all scrap bits left over from other projects, with a couple of small cab rubies (or pink sapphires?) that I picked up in Sri Lanka. The joins are riveted, then fixed/strengthened with a bit of solder. The earwires are, for now, silver as I didn't have suitable scrap handy in gold. The bezels are not finished as I might take them apart again to try to alter/improve them... Far from perfect, but glad to have got something in before the deadline.
