Colorful Chandelier Earrings

I recently made this earring and am now going to list it on Etsy. I really think the chandelier makes the entire earrings! The beads were just a mix I put together. Worked rather well, I think. These earrings are going to be listed at $2.99 and $2.00 shipping. I've sold some similar to these around town for $3.00 each, so I decided to keep the price the same.

I ran out of ideas how to display the earrings for the photoshoot. I was grasping at strings here when I saw my seashell vase. It worked surprisingly well! I was rather proud of myself! ha ha. Some earrings didn't show up good on the vase, but I was able to alternate them on a different vase. I was just tired of using the cloth display pillow. I want to add colors to my displays! Click here to view the listing.

Now, back to the Etsy world of listing! Until next time my fellow readers and creators!

My Favorite Necklace

"I have a lot of jewelry." My friends would say that is an understatement! But most of my jewelry I made myself. I taught myself at sixteen to make jewelry. Then in '08, I started selling them. They sell pretty good in my small town, so I broadened my horizon by selling online. I use the online selling sites, eBay and Etsy. I do pretty good, if I say so myself. I've wanted to have a blog talking about stuff I sell and things I make, so I decided to create this one for that purpose. I've started taking pictures of the new things I create and this will be a good way to share them, also while streaming with photobucket, perhaps.

At a gathering last year with my best friends, I asked them all to bring pendants to create necklaces. Mine was a turquoise themed necklace, as turquoise is my all-time favorite color. Below is the picture I took of it this year.


I used a metal framed turquoise with brown flowers pendant. The beads are turquoise stones that matches well with the pendant. I used stretchy string, I need to word that one better. I also used silver plated heart clasp for easy ons and offs. This necklace measures around 18" long, which reaches about 6" inches away from neck.

I really love this necklace, as it is my favorite I have ever made. I want to make more like this, but I haven't brought myself to do so. It takes a lot of work and measuring to get it just right. Maybe I will create one in the future.

By the way, the necklace is pictured on a crocheted fan that my grandmother made for me. I thought it blended well with this lovely necklace.

Leave a comment if you have time, I would greatly appreciate it and respond back!
