I've been trying my hand at making hoop earrings, lately. And these earrings suddenly emerged. (Yes, they really do that. New designs have a way of making themselves. It's almost like I have nothing to do with it.)
I don't know why, but they somehow remind me of the paintings of Mondrian. I know he mostly worked with squares and right angles. But if he had painted circles instead of squares, I could image this design element in his work.
I really like the way the spaces around the smaller circles and larger circles are balanced. And the way that small hoop on the bottom hangs down. I think I need to do a bracelet in this pattern - but with heavier silver.

Your new earring design is fabulous. Very modern look to them. I am partial to geometric designs & love the your composition.
I'm getting more into geometrics. I'd like to do something similar with rectangles, but haven't quite figured out how to get them to hang properly. (Drill them maybe? Hmm.)
Thanks so much. And I've found a lot of great blogs through Entrecard. It's been a great experience.
