Woodsen Studs, Wired Chinese Knot Jewelry



Woodsen Studs, Inspired By Lily van der Woodsen.
Filed under Wired Chinese Knot jewelry series, studs earrings.
Measurement: 2.5cm X 3cm

I am a big fan of Gossip Girl drama series and Lily van der Woodsen, the mother of Serena van der Woodsen, had always been my obsession, she's like the another version of Maggie Cheung to me. In short, I will want to age gracefully like them. *grin*

So it all started after seeing this picture:
I thought she really is a studs person don't you think so? When I saw this all i had in mind was to create a pair of Lily-feel's studs for myself, then I thought if I were to make a pair of studs or post-earrings for Lily, I would certainly want to create a pair of Wired Chinese Knot jewelry for her.

So here it is, I created them, and took some photos of me wearing them:


Pictures are a little over exposed, but you get the idea. The plus point for this design is that eventhough it's considerably a large piece of studs or post-earrings, it's not heavy at all, and the nature of the knots can tolerate some bending and readjustment, so it's fine for me to adjust it to be a little weavy or curvy, like this:

I love what I create. :)

Thanks for dropping by, hope you had fun viewing and have a pleasant weekend!

PIPA Earrings, Wired Chinese Knot



Anya made these. :)

It never failed to put a smile on my face when I see my jewelry artist friend's attempt on making PIPA jewelry.

Wired PIPA Earrings was my first ever Wired Chinese Knot jewelry piece and its a signature design of mine, and now, Anya have made her first PIPA pendant into a great success. From her version of Wired PIPA Pendant you could probably tell how much attention she'd invested to ensure the outcome turn out to be as close to what I've taught in the PIPA Earrings tutorial as possible. Thank you, Anya, I appreciate your effort and attention. :)

So, a classic PIPA this is:

Then, a variation - knowing Anya, this is definitely a must do after she equipped herself with the knowledge on making the basic Wired PIPA Jewelry:
Totally stunning and classy, ain't it? I especially like how she'd planned her non-round frame, it remind me of how Erin made her's. It's not straight forward, and I am glad that she did not compromise on the little details.

I am actually hoping to see more pieces from Anya, I've seen how she'd made her ROSE ring (image heavy) by adapting Kiki's Adjustable Rose Ring tutorial, I know she would apply whatever she'd learned onto her own jewelry pieces. :)
