More wire-work

In my wire-work adventures a few weeks back I made many 'quiet' sets - in pastel colours. A few of them, though, I decided to be very bold and chose red.... and one of them - if you are Romanian (very few of you are, I know) you'll remember a pop-folk music band back in the 80's, named 'Red & Black'.

This set is named after them :) and it is my first time using black - I have never used black before (long story). It is an asymmetrical bracelet with a big bold and gorgeous black agate - warmed up by a series of bright red coral nuggets. Creates a few wire-wrapped links - and voila! One of the more energetic piece I've ever made - it really moves your blood :) I made just a pair of earrings for it - because it was for a black evening dress with a round embroider of black crystals around the princess neckline, no necklace would have worked. However, for a day-to-day attire, it can sure have a similarly asymmetric necklace and it will - as soon as I get back to our store to buy another focal :)

Without much more talking - I present you 'Red & Black': a bright bold statement for any occasion:

Red & Black: sterling silver, black agate, red bamboo corral

Red & Black bracelet: sterling silver, black agate, red bamboo corral

Red & Black earrings : sterling silver, black agate, red bamboo corral

What do you think of my Red & Black set?
