Dahlia Butterfly Earrings

I am so proud of these earrings because they’re one of the first pairs I’ve made with stones I cut, shaped, and polished myself. I took the Dahlia composite purple stones from raw material to finished cabochons, then brought them together with my hand-painted micro florals, quillwork, and beadwork. I love how this pair turned out.
