Beaded Jewelry Design #4: Unexpected Pearl Earrings - by Denise Peck

Keshi pearls throw a wrench in your expectations of pearl jewelry designs. Because of their irregular shapes, they look great when paired with a rougher, more organic metal setting. This five-minute earring project is a project from the 2008 fall issue of "Step by Step Wire Jewelry" and come from our very own editor in chief, Denise Peck.

Beaded Jewelry Design #5: Hydrangea Earrings - by Kelli Burns

One of the easiest ways to create floral earrings is to use flower-shaped beads like the crystals in Kelli Burns's Hydrangea Earrings. Make them pop with pink or find floral components in a range of other colors, including neutral shades of gray, brown and navy. Using florals in neutral shades is a way to up the sophistication level and create seed bead jewelry that is perfect in conservative settings.
