Jewelry Commission

In one of my other lives I design jewelry.  This commission presented a real challenge.  A friend brought back several small matryoshka type dolls  from Russia and wanted earrings and a necklace made from them.  This client is always color coordinated, even to her tennis shoes when she wears them. And she usually prefers very simple jewelry.  What to do!?  I finally decided simplicity wouldn't work with these. The dolls themselves are ornate and incorporate many colors. I chose to add colors and textures.  The client loves the set and wears them with plain colored sweaters.
