Coin pearl earrings (with a wire wrap).
How is that for beautiful symmetry? Both sets of earrings are constructed the same, using a simple headpin to anchor the entire beading portion of the earrings.
Very simple. Very elegant. Very inexpensive to construct, which means there was no need to pay the $40 odd dollars being requested for these when I saw them. The basic construction is so common that the same theme has been shown over and over and over. It all hinges on what goes on those headpins.
And since you know that these are super easy to construct, take some time to wander through the beading aisle of your favorite crafting store. My local store just expanded their inventory by leaps and bounds and now it takes me hours to get out of there… and never unscathed financially. But I have been making some outrageously wonderful earrings sets as a result, so it’s all good!
What does it take to get your creative groove on? What types of pieces inspire you to get creating?
