Have fun!


I decided to mix pearls, black lacquered wood, and sterling for a quick and easy pair of earrings.  I used thin and delicate silver keishi pearls and black lacquered wood beads along with the long silver kidney wires to create unique earrings with an edgy fashion look. The black wood lacquered beads, and silver add contrast and texture to the monchromatic earrings.

  1. What a fabulous take on this challenge. I love the slivers of beads stacked by color to give each of the colors (or lack thereof) a more powerful punch. Nicely done!

  2. Great job on creating such a fun pair of earrings with pearls. A design with pearls does not have to look boring
