A bit of a challenge

So, I have had these incredibly pretty wire wrapped connectors by Suhana Hart for ages! And I have repeatedly taken them out of my stash and gazed at them, sighed, even given them a little stroke. And then put them back in my beady stash. Sometimes, components are so lovely, that it can be really hard to know what to do with them! How to design around them, when they are just fabulous enough to stand alone. I resisted the urge to just pop them on some earwires, and set myself the challenge of doing something with them for this blog post!

I've framed Suhana's wire wrapped connectors with brass hoops. A bit of a cheat, as these are my favourite components; I'm a bit hoop-obsessed!


I added some freshwater pearls, wrapped in wire and silver seed beads and some silver plated spacer beads and twisted jump rings. The second pair even have a few silver leaves peeking through.


A little bit decadent - definitely special occasion earrings. And although the pretty connectors are the stars of the show, I'm pleased didn't just pop them on earwires!

They'll be in my shop soon. See you in a couple of weeks
