Silver Fishnets
What is one to do when bored in the YK summer heat? Empty the fishnets of course. I am truly in love with these earrings and the whole set together. Creating these earrings, and the matching bolo tie (sold separately), brought me sooooo much joy. As I was looking for inspiration for this spring collection, I thought about what I love the most about summer, spending time with family and fishing! A few years back a snowshoe pair of earrings were sold by Ruth Irene Jewelry and the technique of using beading thread to create a net was reused in these earrings.
Fishing has always brought me so much happiness. Every second I spend fishing, I have no regrets, even if nothing is brought home, the calm by the water is worth it.
