Russian filigree earrings
These earrings, along with a few other pieces from the same period, were inspired by Ella Fitzgerald's version of the song, "Midnight Sun," composed by Lionel Hampton and Sonny Burke in 1947 with lyrics later written by Johnny Mercer in 1954. I have a deep love of jazz songs written in a minor key and on a descending scale.
