Earring Beading Ideas, Page 4

Harvest Earrings

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the copper charm with the birds was a feeling of a brand new day filled with happiness. So I decided to use the red marble-like beads to give it a cheerful feel and match it with white agate chip stones to bring out the […]

Halo Peridot Earrings

For a different take on birthstone earrings (August), I decided to make big hoop earrings that are nevertheless surprisingly light to wear. They remind me of a halo which decided me on their name. The hoop is formed out of solid thicker copper wire. It has been hammered flat a bit so that the wire […]

Queen Of Hearts Valentine Earrings

These earrings are made from wire wrapped rosy colored glass suspended from delicate silver chain. The glass briolettes have facets that catch the light and sparkle. They are finished with simple silver ear wires and measure about 2.75″ long.

Copper And Jasper Earrings

I started this project with a sheet of copper. I cut 2 large circles and drilled a hole on the top and bottom. I then used a doming block to give it shape. I attached 4 links of copper chain to the bottom hole. I added 4-5mm jasper beads and a gold bead to the […]

Planetary System Earrings

I wire wrapped these hand-formed, hammered and polished hoops with very thin and soft 28g copper wire and gemstones (carnelian and labradorite) in a random order with other pieces and spirals added. They look a bit extra-terrestrial, hanging from big hand made loop ear wires that are wire wrapped with additional labradorite “stars”. I use […]

Hammered Brass Disc Earrings

Antiqued brass donut / disc beads are the main feature of these earrings. Wire-wrapped dangles with green Czech fire-polished glass beads provide movement and contrast. It’s a simple design but striking, and the oxidation gives them an vintage look.

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.

Natural Shell And Mother Of Pearl Earrings

For these earrings I used ocean theme materials: natural shells, white mother of pearl beads, and pink mother of pearl flat beads. The inspiration came from a Mikimoto picture which was showing a pearl being extracted from an akoya pearl oyster. Trying to capture that image, I have used natural shells to represent akoya pearl […]

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 […]

Leafy Hoop Earrings

I filled this pair of hoops with patterned oval wooden beads and separated them using other wooden beads of different shapes and sizes. To finish the earrings, I used jump rings to attach wide teardrop pieces to the lower end of the hoops, in order to create a dangling effect.

Belle Azure Earrings

I like simple hoop earrings, but in creating my version, I wanted to tweak the simplicity of their design with an unexpected element. So I hand cut, fused and hammered bronze metal clay rings and hung turquoise gemstone beads off of them to add the extra edge and pop of color I was looking for.

Blue Agate Earrings

I love these blue agate stones, they are so beautiful and unique! The blue agate measures 12x18mm. They are accented by a clear faceted glass bead on top and a metal flower spacer beneath it. Earrings hang from sterling silver French earwires. They measure about 2″ from top to bottom.

Spring Love Earrings

To make these earrings I placed three mother of pearl beads in complimentary colors on gold-tone brass wire and formed a loop. I then fed the wire through the orange lace lentil beads. I wire wrapped one wire around the base of the second wire and formed a loop out of the other wire. In […]

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 […]

Butterflywings

For these very special earrings, I used real butterflywings. I glued them on ultra-suede and stiff stuff. After beading the surrounding in peyote, I filled the holes whith the matching colors from the wings. I finished the earrings with ultra suede on the back and combined the earrings with Swarovski beads 5000 en 5328.

Orange, Red and Blue Polka Dot Lampwork Earrings

These earrings feature colorful orange, red and blue polka dot lampwork beads. I accented them with solid blue lampwork beads, red coral beads, sterling silver spacer beads and small round sterling silver beads. They measure approximately 2 inches from the top of the sterling silver earwire.

Mixed Stone Earrings

These earrings were made using a mix of stones: turquoise, jasper and sodalite. I connected them using 18 gauge silver wire. I left a large loop on the end to add 3 hammered pieces of 18 gauge silver wire. I put a small loop at the end of each of the hammered wire pieces to […]

Faceted Quartz Earrings

Rose quartz rondelles coupled with green quartz flat teardrops make these earrings simply perfect!

Black & Pink Rhapsody Earrings

These beautiful earrings are made with glass beads with a rose design and surrounded by Swarovski crystals. Earwires are 14k gold plated. Measures 1 1/2″. These are the perfect accent to your spring wardrobe! So pretty and sparkly.
