The Pearl Earrings

 

 

 

 

A formal gathering motivated me to make  this pair of danglings and its matching

bracelet... the color of the freshwater pearls matched the suit I was wearing. I didn´t want to wear black dress, although the dinner party was a formal one.

 

  And so I decided to wear a grey suit in the party and thought it would be appropriate for the occasion. Grey suit! Well, what jewelry matched this color? I thought silver would be ok, but I already wore a pearl necklace with a silver closure those past annual parties.

 

 

 

 

  

 

I´ve had a simple solution motivated by the grey suit... why not make a pair of dangled earrings?... quickly, I searched for the materials in my craft room and soon came up with some fresh water pearls in cream and grey (colored) plus I still had those mother of pearl bead remainders that I used from a past project .

 

 

 

 I had to buy the silver hooks/wires as well as the holder from a mineral shop in the city. Soon, I finished the earrings quickly in one sitting.. Trimmings like bead spacers were added to make them look more elegant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Now for the matching charm bracelet... it occured to me that there was not much time left to go shopping for accessories!  I had a silver chain bracelet that I got from an online shop as gift for my  orders from them....This was the very bracelet 

I used to attached all the pearls to... and now my charm bracelet looked elegant, won´t you agree?

 

 

 

 

             

In doing this, I now have a charm bracelet that is matching to the earrings.. 

Hope you´re enjoying your Weekend nicely,  dear blog friends...

 

Thanks for visiting!!!

Colorful Stylish Mineral Earrings

Hi everyone! Today, I will simply share some of the earrings I have made in the past... I collect mineral stones and as I find the time, I make them into jewelries like the earrings above.

These sets of earrings were made in a very simple way using spacers, wires,  hooks, stones and crystals.. Minerals and semi-precious stones are very fascinating materials to work with. It´s so amazing how a simple stone can be turned into a fabulous gem....

If you would love to create your own jewelries, try getting some reference books or magazines on working with Beads... there are many available in the market, try your bookstores or maybe try the tutorials in youtube.

 

 

I wish everyone a happy Sunday!

Stylish Mineral Earrings

As I said before, I love working with minerals, every bead is unique in its way and  you can

really turn a simple stone into a fabulous jewel with a little fantasy in your designs.

Here are some of the finished ones that I made which I´m sure some of you Fashionistas

would love to wear as stylish accessories. For the above , I used a pair of  blue Lapis lazuli beads that look like the earth and I also added a pair of Swarovski  crystals, setting this dangling earrings on a silver finish wire.





This pair is made from amethyst beads, plus I added  simple spacers and Swarovski crystals set on a silver finish wire.

I have added 2 brass wires coiled into spirals to add a funky touch to the brown agate stones (left photo). The materials I used for the ones on the right are green jaspers and mother of pearl shells. Set on a brass wire & clasp, this is a fave pair that I wear almost everyday. 

I hope that you´ve liked today´s postings... Coming up soon, I will be posting on how I decorated a small elegant bedroom. Meanwhile, if you have question or comments on today´s posting you can post it below, I would surely love to hear from you..

Thank you for being here and for reading my blog.
