The background...
These asymmetric earrings feature a faux damascene circle decorated with a flying bird that I salvaged from a mid-century clip-back earring and mounted onto a vintage filigree base. I’ve matched it with a vintage brass bird that I purchased in a vintage warehouse in Providence, Rhode Island, facetted Onyx drops and a repurposed gold and black bead.
Black Onyx is said to encourage happiness and good fortune.
