Bling

I'm in the midst of planning our holiday party and I have Christmas on the brain! These earrings were inspired by the beads, that I found at Michael's craft store! They have the most amazing coloring and AB coating that I've ever seen, along with this very unique etched matte flower design on them! I created these to go along with a bracelet using the same beads.  Definitely planning to make set for me to wear to my own party! Can't wait!

These are for sale in my Indiemade shop!

Water Lilies by Lorelei

Inspired by a trip to the botanical gardens in Maine with my husband! I just loved the water lilies in each pond, buzzing with little dragonflies and overflowing with all types of gorgeous wild life.

 

The ceramic discs from Round Rabbit are perfect with this enameled flower headpins from C Koop beads, and to make each a little more interesting, I added a Vintaj Brass component behind each disc. The faceted Jade rondelles play off the flowers. These were so fun to make.  You can call them your own, they are for sale here in my Etsy shop.

Pop of Yellow

Yellow is one of my favorite colors for the Fall season! Temps here in upstate NY have been slowly decreasing, and I have Autumn fever for sure. It's one of my favorite seasons mostly because that's when the outfits change. I pull out the light sweaters, and enjoy wearing jeans. Denim and Yellow is a hot combination and I pulled some images of inspiration off of Pinterest to go with my Pop of Yellow earrings this week.

Double Trouble

These new double discs are all I've got to show for this week but I am super stoked about this new design in my Harbinger Collection.  I just started playing around with some metal discs and washers, and these double disc riveted dangles happened by accident! To spice em up a bit, I hung a dangling Prehnite cube in the center of the washers.

I really like how these turned out! I am working hard on getting lots of tin jewelry made for an impromptu Trunk Show this weekend in Hamilton NY at a shop called Swank.  I am going to try to take some time to make some of these earrings for my online shop and will get them listed soon!

Making a statement with earrings is a great diversion from the typical attention hog, the necklace. Lately the bigger the better! I can envision these being worn with a cute Summer Maxi style long dress in that beautiful rust red color.

Polynesian Princess

Daydreaming lately of white sandy beaches, bright blue waters, scuba diving etc etc. How I would LOVE to just run away to the Polynesian islands and be spoiled by sunshine and waves. Fun earrings that feature some pretty amazing polymer clay coins by Pam Wynn beads.  I hand-formed some thick wide brass wire and riveted them with screw rivets, dangling the beaded headpins inside.

Here's some inspiration for you on this pretty Spring day...

the Good Life

I had some punched out discs on my worktable and thought I'd put them to better use by stamping some words on them and making earrings with them. Waste Not Want Not? is that the saying? I dunno.
Anyway, I created the discs while a song called Good Life was playing on my ipod.  Hence the inspiration for the text I chose for these discs. Next, searching for something to dangle below.
I recently traded some beads with a FB friend/customer and she sent me these very uniquely shaped Jade beads. When I saw that the hole was across the top of the bead, like a brio, I imagined they looked very much like vases. And so. I added some glass flowers.

These are available for sale in my Etsy shop!

Grandma's Attic

Happy First Day of Spring!!

On a trip to a local antique mall, I recently found a little wooden box full to the brim with mother of pearl buttons, big and small.  It was quite a find, as sometimes it's difficult to find the really itty bitty buttons. I imagine some cute little Grandmother who owned these, would get a kick out of the idea of repurposing them in some earrings!

I really love layered pieces, and it was fun to tie some buttons onto these enameled components from Gardanne Beads.  I dangled some bead caps glass headpins below each. The coral and pale green with the creamy colored buttons just reminds me of my own Grandmother who loved spring colors and gardening!

You can find these and other sweet earring selections in my Etsy shop, Lorelei Eurto Jewelry.

Hoot

I wanted to showcase these adorably sweet Owl charms from Humblebeads, and decided to pair them with some hand-forged copper wire links and handmade earwires.  The teal waxed linen cording ties give a nice little splash of color on the metalwork.

Owls are huge right now, everywhere! Even at the mall and in clothing stores! I'm sure the influx of them in the crafting and hobby world had something to do with that! It's one of America's favorite birds! Any owl or bird lover would be thrilled to own these! They are listed here, at Lorelei's Etsy store!
