Easy Earrings
October 18, 2008
Whether you are making them for yourself, for gifts, or to sell, earrings are always a hit. My favorite earrings to make (and wear!) are simple dangles – just a headpin with a single bead and a wrapped loop at the top. Hang from a pair of french wires, and you’re done! Dress it up with some spacers or a bead cap if you’d like.
Tonite I made up several pairs of simple dangle earrings for my fall shows. I like using my fine silver headpins (no tarnish!) and earring wires that I’ve made myself – it really adds to the individuality of the piece, no matter how simple.
I strung one 6mm freshwater pearl, a Swarovski crystal wheel, another pearl, and finished off with a sterling 2mm round bead. I’ve got the Swarovski wheels in several colors, so I made up a few colors to offer in the same style.
Simple, stylish, classic. I love this style!
