Yellow Clusters for Summer Earrings

yellow summer earrings

Small two toned yellow crystals are paired with gold chandelier findings for a perfect summer earring for that special summer outing. I used this finding as a frame to cluster wrap crystals to the chandelier. I admit I had to become "one" with the wire….it took me a couple of tries and 26 gauge wire works best when making something like this.

Anywho…other pix feature the three finishes we carry; antique copper, gold and silver plate and a dangle design in coppery tones that sold like hot cakes in my store days.

Get Creative,

Cynthia,

New Antiqued Headpins to the Rescue

ball end headpins for jewelry design

I am so charmed by these new headpins. The ball end makes them especially cute. Tempered soft for easy wrapping even though they're made with thicker 22 gauge wire. Adds that "little extra touch" to your designs. Excellent for charm bracelets, earring design and much more.

These Two Inch headpins with 2mm ball end come in:

Antique Silver

Antique Brass

Antique Copper

Gunmetal

Try them and Design Away!

Design a Chain Lariat with Antique Brass Trinkets

my new lariat with brass caps and cones

A Free Spirited Melange Lariat like this can be worn long or doubled around your neck. Make It Yours by connecting chunky tassels of your favorite beads and trinkets. Here I'm showcasing our new Tulip Petal Cones that cleverly secure a mixture of chain segments, caps and in this case a pinkish palette of beads. Antique brass blends well with just about any color combo making it a versatile metal to work with and gives a popular vintage flair. 

Have Fun Making It Yours
