Metallic Chandelier Earrings

Tweet

Even though I have been making quite a few pieces of jewelry recently, it's been really long since I made any chandelier earrings . The last one I remember making was this one I posted quite a while back. I was surprised when I realized that its been so long, mainly because chandelier earrings are my favorite kind of earrings. They are such fun accessories and I love the fact that these earrings add a nice touch to just about any kind of dress.



Once I decided to make some chandelier earrings, I tried to figure out which bead would be most versatile and work with a variety of dresses. A quick search of my bead box revealed some smallish metallic beads leftover from another project that seemed to have a little of  the most basic colors.  Deciding to use these beads, I started out to make these chandelier earrings. I have to admit, these earrings are my new favorite:)

Green Acrylic bead earrings

Tweet

Recently, one of my friends had requested me to make a batch of earrings for her, since she was traveling and wanted something to go with a few of her tops that she planned to use during her trip. I made mostly simple designs that were light and that I thought would be perfect for casual wear.



This is one the designs I made for her. These earrings have one large, surprisingly light acrylic bead each, with a bead cap and an elegant spacer to complete the design. I got these beads at my local craft store as part of a larger set of mixed acrylic beads of different colors.  I loved the light vein design on this bead and I wanted a simple design so that the prettiness of the bead could be showcased :)

Been a long while since I posted any earrings in this space. Mostly because I haven't been making very many pieces of jewelry these days. All my free time seems consumed by some or the other home decor projects. Until I get to my next jewelry project I will try and share some of the pictures of a few earrings I made a little while back. Here is one of them.....




These simple earrings are made with square mother of pearl beads that I purchased recently on a trip. They are casual earrings and would be ideal to dress up a simple top or a t shirt :)

Red crystal metal earrings

It just seems to me that red earrings work with so many dresses/ tops, so having more than one pair of red earrings just makes sense to me. This earring with a red crystal is a very simple design.  Just one single crystal connected to a metal connector. This earring is not too dressy yet it looks very pretty and elegant. Here is the picture.....
