Earrings!

[cheshcan.livejournal.com]

So, I need spending money for the summer, but I can't drive and I live in the boonies. Also, I'm lazy. So I was thinking hey, why not sell jewelry? And I spent all evening yesterday making earrings. But, you see, I'm not sure about any of them--so that's where you craftgrrls come in. If you could tell me what you think of the designs and the colors and charms before I go blundering into the world of crafty sales, I'd really appreciate it!





Stars! They're about 2" long, not counting the ear hooks. Sterling silver wire and glass beads. The little stars at the end of the dangles are dark red on one side and iridescent on the other; pressed beads, I believe.


Fish! 2.5" without the ear hooks (Which are surgical steel, for the record). The wire is just coated copper, the blue beads are glass, the freshwater pearls are real, and the fish is crystal. Some beadmaker in the world decided that people need crystal fish, I guess.


Because summer is pirate season. 2.5" long, surgical steel ear hooks. Silver-colored wire, red and copper glass beads, and little pewter skulls and crossbones.


Flowers! 2" long, surgical steel ear hooks. Silver-colored wire and all glass beads, although there's some fancy word for beads like the flowers that I just can't remember.

From here the pictures get progressively worse, because for some reason my camera hates the rest of these earrings.

I love this style and I can never get a good picture of it! 1.25" long, surgical steel ear hooks. The beads are silver-colored clamshells just made out of acrylics or something, green-gold iridescent, and blue-purple iridescent. The wire is sterling silver and wrapping around the beads in a little spiral.


Grapes. 1.5" long, surgical steel ear hooks, silver colored wire, and sterling silver coated chain. The beads are little green glass leaves and purple glass grapes.


More flowers! These are less than a half inch long--purple-red glass flowers, green glass leaves, and sterling silver wire holding them all together.


And finally, the astronauts. About 2.75" long and on surgical steel ear hooks. The wire is silver-colored, the chain is sterling silver coated, the stars are hematite, and the astronauts themselves are ceramic. And also, the best thing ever.


Thanks for looking!
