my peridot baby lotus!

[sillyberry]

A few months ago I took suggestions for what to do with a little peridot earring that had lost its mate, but that had great sentimental value to me. I worked with Sally to create a modified baby lotus, and I couldn''t be happier with the results! She just posted the images, but I promise to come back with handshots in a few weeks!

Thanks everyone! This is my first custom piece and I am just thrilled. I think my dad would like it, too.

How perfectly sweet! What a wonderful way to preserve an earring that has lost its mate. May I ask what mm size the stone is? I really like the daintiness of it.
