<span style="color: #666666;"> Tirzah had me make a different pair of earrings for each of her bridesmaids, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">all matching her peachy-pink wedding dress.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;">The masterpiece of this wedding was Tirzah's earrings though! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I
created these custom earrings in collaboration with Tirzah to match the
flower applique on her dress, see photo below. The petals on these
earrings are each hand forged with <b>14k gold fill</b> and hand wrapped with
<b>fresh water pearls</b> and and <b>peach moonstones</b></span>.</div>

In 2010 I did a studio photo shoot with the amazing <a href="http://www.junelion.com/">Kelly Goode of June Lion Photography</a>. I though you might like to see how things went down when I was a one woman show working out my my garage. Oh memories...</div>
