Wirework & Silver Earring Beading Ideas

Contemporary Earring

In my jewelry pieces I focus mainly on contemporary styles, so in this piece I tried to give it a modern, different look than the traditional earring. This piece was constructed from silver plated 16 gauge wire giving it a random, trendy shape, then attaching a 10mm purple rondelle bead at the end of the […]

Sodalite Swirl Earrings

To create these earrings I shaped 18 gauge wire into a swirl. Then I hammered the silver to give texture. Then I used a headpin to attach sodalite nugget beads. I attached a closed jump ring to the swirl & used a sterling fishhook earring finding. Sodalite is the stone of endurance.

Everyday Fun Earrings

I wanted to make a pair of fun earrings that would go anywhere…pool or dinner party. I started with the super cute rectangular sterling silver beads and added iridescent faceted black glass beads to the top and bottom. I strung them all together with a piece of Argentine half hard sterling silver wire and attached […]

Swirl Earrings

Pink and silver colored dangle swirl earrings. Made from wire, charms, and pink glass beads.

Veronica Drop Earrings

These drop earrings started with the cute sterling silver bead caps. I paired them with the foiled glass purple beads and thought that looked nice. I did some wire work to attach them all together but they were still lacking something. I looked through my beads and found only two of the delicate faceted purple […]

Nuts & Berries Acai Berry And Coconut Earrings

I love bold jewelry, not necessarily the big diamond bold jewelry, but more so stones and off beat beads. I took a more eco friendly and modern route with these earrings. The Nuts & Berries earrings took about an 1 1/2 hours to make to ensure the smoothness of the steel wire to hold the […]

Lampwork Swirl Beaded Earrings

These earrings were designed with unique lampwork beads in shades of deep green, black, and brown. The focal beads are combined with jet Swarovski Austrian crystals, jet glass rounds, and sterling silver beads.

I Love You Red Coral Drop Earrings

My “I love you” earrings are inspired by love. A great pair of earrings made of natural coral quartz briolettes, wire wrapped in sterling silver. To make these, first gather two gemstone beads, some sterling silver 20 gauge dead soft wire, and two ear wires. Next, make a loop in the wire and start wrapping […]

Simple Pink Wedding Earrings

I made these earrings using sterling silver findings, chandelier components, and best of all, Swarovski crystals and pearls. I love the shine and sparkle of the crystals. They are just beautiful. I was inspired thinking about a wedding with beautiful pink roses to match the earrings and set everything else off beautifully.

Lampwork And Crystal Dangle Earrings

I made these earrings with Lampwork beads and Swarovski bicones in amethyst, rose alabaster, tanzanite, and jet. Earwires are sterling silver. Earrings are 1 3/4″ in length.

Ruby Wedding Earrings

These sterling silver and ruby earrings were made as a part of a set to wear during my wedding. They are made of sterling silver chain and ruby rondelles.

Smoke Stack Earrings

These earrings were created using smokey quartz nuggets, silver plated chain and diasy spacers, smokey quartz rondelles, and sterling silver fishhook earwires.

Green Glass Beaded Earrings

We designed these earrings with these unique decorative glass beads in shades of green, emerald and chrysolite Swarovski Austrian crystals and sterling silver.

Joyeux Noel Christmas Tree Beaded Earrings

I started this earring by placing a Swarovski 4 mm Siam cube crystal on a head pin. I then placed a 6 mm Swarovski Margarita bead, then 8 mm crystal, then 10 mm crystal, and finished it with a 6mm brown bicone bead to complete the Christmas tree shape. I attached the head pin to […]

Northwest Rain Drop Earrings

Living in the northwest, I see a lot of rain. I wanted to show the positive side of all the rain with these cute little earrings. I used aqua blue briolettes, flowers in Tibetan silver, and fancy earwires. They were very inexpensive to make. They show you can make something beautiful without spending a fortune.

Chandelier Earrings in Black and Silver

The “chandelier” pieces in this design are actually elaborate bead caps taken from a Christmas tree ornament! I love to use findings in unusual and unexpected ways. When I found these sterling silver bead caps (at least that is what I think they are supposed to be) at a garage sale I picked them up […]

Black and Silver Polymer Clay Flower Earrings

Each of these tiny flowers have been handmade one by one. I began with the dark black colour of polymer clay and added some white to have shades of gray from dark to light. I made some of the flowers with a shimmery polymer clay as well. I assembled the flowers with a silver ball […]

Emerald Green Earrings

I have created these earrings using silver plated ear wires, a variety of green/emerald beads and recycled green and silver charm from a broken necklace. I used nickel free headpins, spacer beads and jump rings to complete them.

Amazonite Sterling Cone Earrings

These are just the coolest…serene and sensational in a velvety bluish green. The rounds of 10mm amazonite are capped with Bali sterling silver cones. Total length is 2″.

Ammonite Earrings

Ammonites became extinct 65 millions years ago along with the dinosaurs so these fossilized shells are 65-400 million years old! When ammonites are found in clays their original mother-of-pearl coating is often preserved, you can see this in the back shot. These beautiful ammonite fossils are 1 1/4″ long and set in solid .925 sterling […]
