Jewelry 4 the hand - Kelli Clarkson made me do...update

I sometimes post my work on jewelrylessons.com for support and to get ideas.  Another user of the site, 

Pam was so helpful in finding images of not only Kelly Clarkson wearing the hand jewelry that inspired me but she also found images of Nicole Scherzinger wearing the "bracelet."  

She shared a link on "Curly Fries" blog (http://kaprayshapray.blogspot.com/2011/11/glamorous-accessories-hand-cuffs-as.html).  The story on the blog about Nicole Scherzinger wearing the bracelet  features images of other "hand bracelets" that show the back and front of the adornment.
 

The Earth Has Weight

The symbol at the center of the cage is from the Adrinka people of West African and it means "The Earth Has Weight." It is a reminder of we must live with care for this planet. Copper collar with caged wired stones. Two colors of green Aventine, turquoise, glass seed beads and Swarovski crystals.

Other articles on "wire cages";

• A necklace of tumbled red jasper undreilled nuggets 
• I reposted a video from Youtube.  The artist is creating a necklace from - sea glass.  The glass is undrilled so she uses cages to make the sea glass a part of the necklace.

Just Finished

That's my sister Sharon Terry.  She is my artistic consultant.  The hair ornament is just completed. Early this morning I placed it in her locks and started taking photos.  I made the earrings some time ago.  I've made a lot of this style earring--different lengths, different combinations.  The hair ornament is for the CCC Group (Color Combo Challenge)

No these are not the color of spring--they are the color of heat and spice. It was 87 degrees here today and it's still March. The weather and these earrings are calling out what is to come.
