When I think of the Olympics this past summer, I think of the rings used in the logo. Those rings have been used for as long as I can remember. This year's tropical setting in Rio, also makes me think of tropical beaches in shades of teal, turquoise and beige.
I used the rings as my inspiration and the colors of Rio to make these ceramic hoop earrings paired with lamp work glass beads:
Then I took closed hammered rings and wire wrapped orphan ceramic and lamp work beads in between them to form a 30" over the head necklace. I love that I was able to use these beads and make a one of a kind design, too!
Thank you to Melissa Trudinger for hostessesing our challenge! To see how my friends used the Olympics as the inspiration for their jewelry designs, please visit:
