Bohemian lampwork earrings

I am very enthusiastic about our new range of lampwork beads from India. Many of these beads are based on a style which has been in use for over a 100 years, especially these weddingcake style beads.
Because they are hand made, they have a lovely nonchalant bohemian look. I used the beads to make this pair of earrings: the large sky blue lampwork bead at the bottom complements the smaller ocre yellow bead at the top beautifully.
In addition, I have opted for antique copper materials because I think they really bring out the gold-coloured details of the lampwork beads. The small blue electroplate bicone beads complete the look.

What you need is a long headpin onto which you can string the beads. To make the pendant, I have shaped the eyelet very tight to the beads. The pendant can be attached to a simple earhook to make sure the lampwork beads are the eye catchers of the earring!

Bohemian summer earrings

You can make these bohemian summer earrings yourself, using bronze pendants, small rhinestones and glass bicone beads. These earrings are playfull, summery, super feminine and anyone can make them! You will need (rhinestone) glue for the rhinestones, and the beads can be connected directly to the pendants using head pins. They don't need anything fancier than a basic french earhook, although the ear studs with rhinestones work very well too (you can see this in the last picture). We made an example for each of the pendants, but of course you can choose your own colour combinations, so that your earrings go perfectly with your favourite summer outfit.
