Huge Gold Earrings

¡Huge! gold earrings from vintage National Geo. Interesting that these two women are from distant cultures, but are wearing the nose ring as well. 

National Geo magazines have been a very formative influence on my jewellery work, its all about the photos of course- in two ways; the subject of jewellery being worn in a cultural, real life context, and also the photos/prints themselves;(particularly '70s-'80's era) with their rich rich colours and vibrant haziness.
