Earrings Galore Part 1

One reason why I’d like to call myself “the fabulous scientist” aside from plain vanity (LOL) is I do love designing and making beaded fashion accessories and yes, there’s also science in creating them! When combining elements, a jewelry designer, newbie (like me) or not, has to consider color combinations, symmetry, weight of materials, etc. More on this later.

Since I’m currently sick and had nothing much to do (I wouldn’t be caught dead doing nothing), I decided to create a few pairs to sell on my online shop: www.facebook.com/Purplebutterflyonlineshoppe

Here they are:

made from colorful buttons I have collected years ago Php 50

Materials: royal blue faux pearls, howlite round beads, metal charms engraved with runes (or what looks like it) Php 75

Materials: Eiffel tower charms, heart charms and crystal studded berry beads PhP 65

Materials: Turquoise gemstone nuggest, coral beads, nickel alloy daisy spacers and findings PhP 65

materials: yellow acrylic coin beads, berry beads, nickel alloy spacers and findings PhP 75

materials: plastic beads, rondelle crystals, nickel alloy bead caps and findings PhP 50

PhP 75

Materials: red rondelle crystals, hematite beads, metal charms Php 65

Gemstone Drop coral, howlite, amethyst, garnet and turquoise natural beads PhP 100

Diagonals Amethyst Gold plated, Swarovski bicone crystals PhP 100

Tip of the day (though a self-serving one, LOL):

If you’re buying a gift for your girlfriend this coming Valentine’s Day, give her handmade jewelry/ies crafted with love by local crafters (like me!). Not only will you help feed the hungry (I know, shameless!), you’d also be giving something that’s NOT mass produced and made of locally sourced beads. Some of these beads were actually recycled from old clothes (source of buttons); broken/old necklaces and earrings; and bought from local suppliers. Let’s support our local crafters! (insert sheepish smile here)
