"Taupe Drops" Swarovski Crystal Earrings Project - Beading and Jewelry Making
Here is a lovely delicate dangly earrings project featuring some fab little Swarovski crystal beads in shades of taupe and champagne, with just a little turquoise on the bottom. (I made these to match a summery dress). You can use any colors of crystal you like, and even attach a whole chain of crystal beads to each chain link to make them even more sparkly and impactful--I was going for simple… Continue

"Bluebird" Charm Lapis Lazuli Pendant Project - Beading and jewelry Making
I found this massive disc of royal blue lapis lazuli on eBay. I decided it would be pretty as a simple pendant design, featuring a gold brass bird charm to bring out the gold in the stone. The little bird is flying in the blue sky! I strung it to a leather cord with just a few beads. I hope you enjoy this pendant project.

Here is a link to an image transfer project if you want to try it out...the possibilities are endless to make your own… Continue

More Easy Earring Ideas - Fire Agate Bead Earrings - Beading and Making Jewelry
Here is the last pair of easy earrings I whipped up for my friend last week. These are all about color and contrast. They feature bright orange faceted oval beads, which I believe might be fire agate or jasper, and my friend wanted them paired with some bright blue kyanite beads. I added some dark orange bicones in the middle just to break things up a bit. They are an extremely simple design that ca… Continue
