Tutorial - A rainbow of earrings



A rainbow of earrings
For me, jewelry design at its best is when I can duplicate it in different colours. Especially if you are selling your own handmade creations, you may recognise that the design process takes a lot of time and effort. It's nice to appeal to a wider range of customers, because you can offer a piece of jewelry in their personal favourite colour.

Gypsy earrings


Gypsy earrings
Aren't these a colourful lot? I have made this collection of Gypsy boho earrings with lampwork beads from India. The lampwork beads are a personal favorite of mine due to their vibrant colours. The beads in the so-called 'Weddingcake' style are made by hand in India. Combine them with a beautiful maxi dress for a summery Gypsy boho look!
