Sabi Star earrings


This flower is called a Sabi Star in Zimbabwe, or an Impala Lilly in South Africa. The Latin name is Adenium obesum. My design.

Early last December, I made a pair like this for a friend in England, and posted them off with several splendid Snowflakes. They never arrived. The envelope wasn't insured or registered, so I can't trace it. I guess I should've registered it, but I did expect it to get to where it was supposed to! Anyway, I will give these to a 'special messenger' to deliver.

  1. Those are VERY pretty. What a shame your friend never got them. I hope it's a case of 'second time lucky'. Love the victorian set chains. They 'wiggle' beautifully.

  2. Thanks! The flower has a 'wiggley' edge, so the Victorian sets work very well. I was wondering what to call that chain, thinking about what you said about standardisation - I've seen it called a number of names!

  3. These earrings are sweet!

    I can understand your disappointment when the items don't arrive. You can always tat them again, if it's any consolation. :)
