This is the second video in what I hope will be a recurring series of jewelry-making. I plan to share these videos at least once a month (but there’s always the possibility for more!)
Just like the first video, I turned to my “bead box” to complete two pairs of earrings.
The first pair of earrings was simply made with a selection of cherry quartz beads and pins. The second pair is a bit more fiddly and uses shank mother-of-pearl buttons, pink freshwater pearls, chain, wire, and silver findings.
You can find an assortment of my jewelry, art, and cards at Hello Gallery in Fairhope, AL. Find them on Instagram: instagram.com/hellofairhope
and on Facebook: facebook.com/hellofairhope
As well, other pieces are available on Etsy: etsy.com/shop/CraftyHope
More about my bead box and previous versions of it can be found on my blog. But, here’s the last post I did about it there: craftyhope.com/2024/03/bead-box-18-reveal.html
