All that glitters...

I had beautiful mother of pearl beads which I had been thinking about for a while, but had been unable to come up with a unique design. I recently bought some beautiful brown faceted beads as well. (Oh, how they shine!!) Now I must say that this design was not a sudden inspiration. I wanted to do something special with the brown beads. The insipiration again was an outfit with the same colors. I realised that these complement each other so beautifully, I had to put them together. Naturally, the next challenge was to come up with the design and I must say I did struggle with it. It took me over three weeks to work out the design.

The earrings were also a challenge. Since the mother of pearl beads are a good size, I didn't want to make a dangle and I also wanted to add the brown beads to create a well matched set. So working out the balance of the earrings without making them heavy was very tricky. I am extremely happy and satisfied with the final result!

Here is the complete set.

Swaroski Crystals and Chandelier Earrings

Its been a while since I last wrote a blog post but not for a lack of trying. I have had this one composed for a few weeks now and was waiting to take photographs of some of the projects. And so it remained incomplete and waiting to be posted.

Finally, having taken pictures I expect to update this blog more often now and also to take pictures as soon as I finish a project.

Presented here is a strand of white Swarowski crystals ending in a silver plated clasp embellished with crystals.

Accompanying it are beautiful silver plated chandelier earrings.

This is a simple and elegant design and will complement a cocktail dress as beautifully as it would a casual jeans and tshirt outfit.
