Pretty Petite Pearl Earrings

These pearl earrings would be so perfect for a bride or bridesmaids. They would also be nice for a younger gal for her sweet sixteen party or first communion. The sterling silver is sparkling and is certainly a keepsake.

Giveaway Winner!

The giveaway winner is Laura Rieben! Thanks to everyone else for viewing and participating.  I will do another giveaway in March.

Here's what I've been working on.

This is a turquoise necklace set. I actually bought these turquoise beads at Michaels. They do have some nice beads. You just have to look closely to make sure the beads are real. These beads are top drilled so to cover the wire, I wrapped down.

It's a bit of a messy wrap, but I think it gives it a Boho vibe.
Here are the earrings. To purchase, click my Etsy link at the right side of this page.

Hearts in Knots Necklace Set

I picked up these puka shells on the beach in Hawaii in the 70's. Seeing that they needed reimagining, I sought out Arizona turquoise to contrast, accented with pewter hearts tied in knots. Other details: the clasp is sterling silver and hand crafted. the beads are also stering silver. The necklace is 20" long and the earrings are 3" long.

Hoop Earring Demo

This is a new way to make hoop earrings that require very little in supplies.  I set out the steps for you below.  Leave me a comment if you have any questions.  

Enjoy!

First assemble your materials. You will need two pieces of 22 gauge half hard sterling silver wire and your choice of beads.

Using your needle nose pliers, create a wire wrapped loop that faces forward.

Then thread your beads onto the wire.

Bend each wire back about one inch.

Hammer the bent ends flat for a nice finish.

Pull the bent portion through the wire wrapped loop.

Thread the bent portion through the front of your ear lobe and connect in the back.

There you have it.

These earrings are available  here.
