Love + Hate earrings

Hate leaves ugly scars, love leaves beautiful ones.
Mignon McLaughlin

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin, I think Martin Luther King sums them up nicely.

Hatred paralyzes life
Love releases it
Hatred confuses life
Love harmonizes it
Hatred darkens life
Love illumines it

The settings are made from sterling silver and feature a 6x4mm set of garnets.The earrings are lightweight and measure approx 50mm (2″) long.
