A trip to a British Museum, with a fascinating collection of historical armour, and my admiration for those who get knocked down, but have the courage to keep getting back up, inspired these bold beauties. Hand made brass “shields” with a gorgeous turquoise patina, hand made navy blue and gold ceramic beads, Czech crystals, gold filled wire work, dimpled brass beads and gold filled ear wires, in an earring designed to remind us of the strength we carry within!
