This is the last pair of lovely textured goldtone metal connector beads that came from a broken vintage necklace! They make every pair of dangle earrings I create with them - elegant - especially when they're combined with delicate opal glass givre beads. All good things must end!

A Profusion of Pearls! A Profusion of PLASTIC Pearls!

You know how I love vintage beads...especially pearls (even when they're plastic!). They epitomize romance and glamor (my father thought they were bad luck for some reason but my mother didn't!). I find broken pearl necklaces at estate, yard, garage, stoop and barn sales. I salvage the beads that are in good condition and I make necklaces. But not like the usual (think Barbara Bush) pearl necklaces . I don't match the beads and I don't place them in size order (called graduated) and I never, ever create multi-strand necklaces.

When I'm done with the necklaces, I sometimes have just two or three magnificent vintage pearls left...so I make earrings...like the new ones above. I think they're perfect for people who wear costume jewelry, don't like heavy earrings and want something unique and affordable. They'll be listed in my etsy shop soon.

I have so many new (really old) vintage beads that I want to turn into earrings that I'm clearing out my current inventory. That sounds so brick and mortar! Every pair of earrings in my etsy shop is just $5.00 (regularly $7-10) while they last. AND shipping is free for the second, third, fourth (you get the idea) pair you buy!

New Earrings for Spring

I had so much fun adding bits of ribbon and lace to my necklaces that I decided to try adding these soft touches to some earrings. It was a bit hard figuring out how large to make the "trimming" sections and to get them to match well. Unfortunately, several of the vintage ribbons I acquired over the years were unsuitable because they were too fragile and frayed too easily. Never fear....I'll find a use for them yet!

The first pair is called "Juicy Peach Dangles." The next "Just Too Tulle Dangles" and the last "I Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina Dangle." They are all for sale in my etsy shop.
