sunny Sunday

Jakarta was forecast to have heavy rain this weekend, but today we have a bright sunny Sunday. I guess the sun chases all the heavy clouds away and leave us with nothing but the bright light...It's really a perfect day, since we have lunch with my hubby's best friends and in the afternoon, we will attend wedding reception of our colleague.

The lunch is to celebrate one of my hubby best friend's birthday. Even tough now everyone is busy with our own work, it is important to keep in touch and meet to have a chat with our friends.

Now, before we head off to our colleague's wedding reception, I present you:

Earring

Today is national holiday in Indonesia and I'm not doing many activities to fill in the  day.

I've made this new line of my jewellery design, it's an earring. It is funny, I made necklaces, bracelets, anklets (occasionally), rings (rarely), but never an earring. And you know what, it's tragic because I never even want to leave my home or apartment without my earrings, well except if I go for mourning then no jewellery would be worn. 

I've been attached to earrings since kid. My parents gave my first earrings set when I'm about one or two years old, and according to my mom, I made a lot of struggles when technician do ear piercing to my ears (which babies wouldn't struggle anyway when they have their ears pierced?) My parents must took me for a long walk after the technician managed to pierced one of my ear, because I refused him to pierce the other one... phiufff....then when we came back to the technician, well...all hell broke, oy... Anyway, now I'm grown with one piercing on each of my ear.

I took a look at Wikipedia to know a little about this jewellery, it is said that not only women wears earring in the old days. In Persepolis ancient Persia, some archaeologist managed to found some evidence that soldiers of Persia empire do wear earring. Even in bible, when Moses on Mount Sinai, Israelites demanded Aaron to made God for them. In order for him to comply their request, he ask Israelites to bring their sons and daughtes' pieces of jewelleries include earring. Then during English renaissance era, earrings become popular among courtiers and gentlemen. So, earrings also made a popular choice of jewellery not just for women, but also men in the old days.

Here's a simple design of earrings I made:
