The January 2018 inspiration for We're All Ears is ultra violet - Pantone's color of the year 2018. I love this color but made the earrings quite accidentally. I found those long forgotten pave beads, crown spacers/bead caps and connectors while looking for something else and decided they were a good combo. Here is this blingy and slightly kitschy first pair I made:
Вдъхновението за януари 2018 на We're All Ears е ултравиолетово - цветът за 2018 г. на Института Пантон. Въпреки че харесвам този цвят, направих първия чифт обици едва след като случайно намерих мънистата, разделителите във форма на корона и свързващите елементи, които използвах като висулки. Търсех нещо друго, но веднага видях възможната комбинация и така се роди първият лъскав и леко кичозен чифт:
The second pair is a combo of purple AB crystals and coiled wire. The only difficulty with this model is to find the right wire gauge to fit under the bead caps 😃
Вторият чифт е комбинация от лилави преливащи кристали и спирала от тел. Единствената трудност при този модел е намирането на тел с подходяща дебелина, за да влезе под капачето 😃

Both so beautiful! Superb work, my friend! xo
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Laura! Both designs are pretty simple, I just went with stacking the components. I think I will make more of the second. As far as the first one, I thought I will never find how to use the crown spacers / caps :)
ИзтриванеThe coiled wire version is simply fabulous. Is it silver wire or artistic wire?
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Divya! I'm thinking of making variations of the second design. It's some sort of craft wire, probably from China. Artistic wire as a brand is quite expensive, not to mention sterling silver. Silver plated German Style by Griffin is affordable here but the thicker gauges are hard. For this design, 0.3 or 0.4 mm is OK.
ИзтриванеAbsolutely marvelous! The coiled earrings are my favorite. :)
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Solange! I'm so glad everybody liked this design!
ИзтриванеWhat beautiful, sparkly designs - perfect to liven up January!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Deborah! Yes, I believe I wanted to brighten up that cold weather somehow :)
ИзтриванеBoth of these are so fun and unique. Those crown spacers make that first pair feel so Royal!!
ОтговорИзтриванеThanks, Hope! Sometimes it really pays off to not overthink something, as you advised me once :)
ИзтриванеVery unique and gorgeous designs. I especially like the textures in the second pair.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Tammy! The second pair turned out quite interesting and it can be reproduced in many variants :)
