We're All Ears :: February Inspiration :: Chandeliers

This month's We're All Ears challenge is to use chandeliers as the inspiration for creating earrings. I never really thought about the connection between chandeliers and jewelry before but I see where there is room for a relationship.  Both are accessories.  Both can be made up of vintage, crystal, bling.  Both even have structures made of metal.  Often the metals are gold and silver.

I saw this as a chance to make something romantic and simple. My earrings would have a structure of metal. The metal that I decided to use would have to be silver or copper. When I began thinking about silver and chandeliers I thought about white and round.  My thoughts moved to round white pearls.

I have a love for white coin pearls.  They are just so simple and elegant like a chandelier can be.  I have been working with metal more lately and I wanted to make an earring that had a simple structure so that the coin pearls were showcased. I think I achieved that..  What do you think?

  6. Coin pearls are one of my favorites, too! They do look like a shining orb, like a moon, or that beautiful full bulb in one of my inspiration photos. Thanks for playing along with me in the We're All Ears Challenge. See you for the next one! Enjoy the day! Erin
