Have any of you ever watched the series Boardwalk Empire? It's an exciting tale set in the American prohibition era, starring gangsters like Al Capone. Stylewise, the period is set shortly after World War I, the last days of the Art Nouveau movement. The costume styling is beautifully done, and I always marvel at the gorgeous earrings the ladies are wearing.
So I was greatly inpired to make these Art Nouveau cone earrings. They are long earrings with large glass pendants, and they have a wonderful antique feeling to them.
The pendants are horizontally drilled through the top, that's why I fitted an eyepin throught the drill hole, and covered it all up with a filligree beadcap.
- Glass cone pendants 2 pieces.
- Long filigree beadcaps 2 pieces. I chose bronze metal, but we carry several other metal colours.
- Eyepins 4 pieces. Size 40 mm will be adequate, you will need to cut them to required length.
- Art Nouveau style earring findings add extra nostalgic character.
1. Use a flat nose plier to bend the beadcap into shape, allowing them to slide over the cone perfectly.
