EARRINGS EARRINGS EARRINGS!



I love earrings, and one of the reasons I first started to make pearl jewelry was so that I could make pearl earrings. Pearl earrings are a must for every girl and woman. She'll wear them with absolutely anything and everything, and even when she doesn't feel like she's on top of her game, those pearl earrings will finesse her through. These are classic. Small white coin with smaller round pearl - all freshwater and with European ear wires which are my favorites.


This year I splurged on some super large and perfectly smooth coin pearls. These earrings are new classics. I'll have a few pairs of these to sell at the show, and would be able to take orders for a few more pairs or a bracelet. After that, they'll be gone. They were difficult to find, and apparently they are becoming a rarity. Absolutely gorgeous.
These teardrop coins are really sweet, and look great paired with a Bali silver accent. The round coin pearls are topped off with a black crystal. Next we have the leopard earrings. Tiger Eye, Pearl and Black Crystal. They can either be matchy matchy (I don't mind matchy matchy - it's dependable, it matches, and it often looks very put together.) with your Leopard Necklace, or they can be that subtle touch of fun and elegance when you want to balance another animal print.
This pair speaks for itself. I love these coin shaped Bali Silver beads, and they look fabulous with small pink freshwater pearls. This is one of my favorite Bali beads, and don't forget what Valentino said about pink.

These green glass beads showed up in my stash one day. They are not part of the vintage set that I bought when I was a kid. Where did I get them? It's a mystery hidden within their translucent depths.

The Santorini earrings remind me of the black sand beach in Santorini. It was actually a a little black sand covering a blackened volcanic surface. It absolutely sparkled, which is what you'll be doing when you dress up your outfit with these earrings. Silver crystal teardrops with clear crystals and black beads, just like the volcanic beach.

I've got lots of earrings. All shapes, all sizes, all colors, and many many many pearls.
