I can't be more excited! My very favorite earring shape, the chandelier, as made a triumphant return to fashion! Bold, feminine, sexy -- the chandelier has a lot going for it. AND it doesn't have to be complicated to be gorgeous. There are versions for every skill set, every style. Here are a few I found while playing on the Internet...
I found this yummy coral design on www.ktcollection.com. The coral pieces are all faceted Czech firepolish beads, and the findings are all hand-built from wire (18 gauge for the frame, 24 gauge for the wire wrapping. This project may be a little time consuming, but the extra details really make it pop!
Our first pair comes to us from www.worldmarket.com This traditional Native American style is an increasing and decreasing peyote pattern with a fringe. Made of inexpensive size 11 Czech seed beads, this project is inexpensive -- but so beautiful!

Okay, if the coral project was too busy for you, this may be just the design for you -- pretty gems swing within a trapeze of fine chain - just two wire wraps per earring! Sarah Cavey posted these pretties on her Etsy site, and I think they are just darling.
For those who like the traditional chandelier dangle but want a smaller, lighter version, here's a miniature design sure to please from www.ladybugbeads.net . Utilizing TierraCast links, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and size 11 seed beads, this sweet little pair of earrings are easy to both make and wear.
