Heat Treated Agate EarringsThe creator of this piece says: Fun and flirty design, goes great with any outfit.

What you will need:

  • 2 - top drilled 10 x 12 mm faceted briolettes
  • 18 - 6mm sterling silver jump rings
  • 2 - 2 1/2" 22 gauge half hard round sterling wire

Wrap an open end loop at the end of one of the wire pieces. Slide the briolette onto the wire about 1/4" from the wrap. Bend the loop up at a 90 degree angle. Take the straight end of the wire, bend it up at a 90 degree angle and begin to wrap it back up towards the loop. Slide 8 of the jump rings onto the top of the earring. Secure the 9th ring thru the eye of the loop. Attach the ear wire through the top loop.

About the Artist: Tish McDermott

About two years ago, I began making jewelry when I couldn't find anything that 'did it' for me in the mass-produced, commercial jewelry. I started out by looking at how commercial pieces were made, and thought I would try it. The stones I use speak to me, whispering confidence, peace, and protection. My pieces are unique, choosing stones for their properties rather than their colors.

Once I started making jewelry for myself, it became my passion, my obsession, my therapy, my joy. JustATish designs were born!

My inspiration comes from everything around me. In my dreams, I process the sights, sounds, and experiences of the day and design the next day's jewelry.
