2020 Earrings!

I was visiting a friend and took some craft supplies to see what I could come up with on a Saturday afternoon. It has been awhile for me due to the quarantine and just life in general. 

I usually show shots of my progress while I am working. 





Chocker necklaces are dated but I love the goldstone penda





I forgot how many beads I had to work with and stainless steel findings I had on hand.  Below are some of my creations and my favorite style of earrings (lever back and fishhook style).

These pair below are on the heavy side but I like the color. 



This pair below includes hematite spacer beads and black goldstone with dyed jasper. 



The one above has hematite and black shell stone. The next few are some color combos that stood out for me. 







This pair below is carnelian and dyed orange jade. The spacers are black shell stone.


 
This pair below uses steel findings and dyed jasper. 



The next pair is with bronze steel findings and tiger eye.



This pair has rose quartz chips and hematite.



The next two pair have shell stone spaces and jasper beads. 





This pair has hematite and citrine chipped beads. 



And of course, I like gemstone pendants ranging from lapis lazuli, moonstone, jasper and tiger eye.



In a span of a few hours, I was able to make some trinkets and bag them up.  I really need to do this more often.
