Black and Orange Byzantine Earrings

I like these earrings. We made them around Halloween (if you couldn't tell). We had an assortment of colors in our rings and I decided to have a little bit of fun with it. They are made with 18 gauge anodized aluminum rings and and are finished off with silver plated kidney wires. I like this color pattern with the connector rings one color and the "flower" portions a different color. It really emphasizes the pattern.

As always, if you are interested in something we've made, head over to our shop at http://bnbcreations.artfire.com. If you don't see what you want, let us know and we can make something custom just for you.

Fresh Classic Byzantine and Beads

This piece is a collaboration between Becky and Brian. Brian created the chain and Becky added the beads. The chain is made in the classic Byzantine pattern. It is made of aluminum rings which makes it surprisingly lightweight and very wearable. The beads are blue and green glass beads and they weave their way through the byzantine chain. We've sold several different variations of this. One almost exactly the same except longer so it can be worn as an anklet. We've also sold one that was made with copper rings.
