Valentine’s Day Designs

Valentine's Day Designs by Val  - featured on Jewelry Making Journal
Free Form Stamped Heart Earrings

I don’t normally come up with holiday designs since when they don’t sell that season they are sort of stuck in the shop.

However this year I decided to come up with more abstract special jewelry for Valentine’s Day that would be appropriate for year round wear.

These heart earrings (above) were created by stamping a free-form heart pattern on hand cut copper pieces. Then oxidized and lightly polished for an understate effect. The gunmetal chain hides the pattern a little for added subtlety.

The red coral ones are oxidized copper pieces for an edgy accent behind the sterling silver chain.

Red Coral Dearest One Earrings

With the elegance pearl necklace a piece of copper was flame oxidized giving it an iridescence. The cut and texture of the metal adds a cool contrast to the classiness of the pearl and sterling chain.

    These pieces are really fab, Val! I love that they’re very different from most Valentine jewelry. Beautiful pieces, and I especially like the Red Coral Dearest One Earrings. Thank you for the inspiration to do something a little different for holiday jewelry!
