A Gift of Flowers

Here are three pairs of floral-theme earrings that I gave away as a gift recently.

Clockwise fr top left: Pot of Posies, Ikebana, Chrysanthemum Ocha

Pot of Posies
Each tiny pot is brimming with an assortment of pink and blue blooms - acrylic flower, faux pearl, transparent blue faceted bead and wooden flower-painted blue bead.

Ikebana
There's something so subtlely charming about Ikebana (Japanese art of flower arrangement). A single flower peeking from a shallow dish of slender leaves, or an angled sprig of branch in tangent to a small bouquet of blooms - Ikebana is all about minimalistic beauty.

Chrysanthemum Ocha
Chrysanthemums are usually yellow, but these earrings with green chrysanthemums are in a vibrant green hue that reminds of rolling tea plantations and Japanese ocha. Gives a whole twist to the term Chrysanthemum Tea, don't you think? A sky-blue diamond bead here, a quirky acrylic blue-striped bead there, dangled with a flower basket bronze metallic charm - it's earring Ikebana!
