One of my BFF’s 30th birthday is this December, right before Christmas. With a birthday so close to the holiday it’s hard to get everyone together for a party, so her husband decided to throw her a surprise party a month early. Tonight, right now…

Black Clutch, Purple Chandelier Earrings & Necklace

Knowing she truly loves and appreciates my handmade gifts, I knew just what to make her: A chic clutch stuffed with glamorous goodies.

The clutch included a pair of handmade chandelier beaded earrings and matching necklace and homemade exfoliating soap. Click on the picture for a closer view.

I’ve always dreamed about earrings I’d love to make my sister… However, she doesn’t wear them. Sometimes I think of cute necklaces I could make to match my earrings… However, I don’t wear them. You think I’d make a complete set and wear the matching earrings to my sister’s necklace. As much as we are  alike, we’re also different.

A little over a month ago my sister felt the need to wear more green. I decided to jump on that and make her a long over due necklace. I wanted the green necklace to look like her (she knows what I mean), and spent two weeks (7 crafts stores) looking for a pendant I thought would work. There was a strong need to put turquoise in the necklace as well, being the color we both love so much. Once I had my beads chosen, I was ready to create my healing vision.

I started the necklace and the next day I saw she blogged about a green and blue necklace she purchased… she beat me to the punch! Finally I finished my necklace for her, but I couldn’t photograph it because I didn’t have my camera back yet. Then I got my camera back, but couldn’t post it because she hadn’t received it yet!  B, I hope you like it!

Inner Jewelry Maker Returns
During undergrad, I made scarfs, hats, purses, ear-warmers for gifts for my family and friends. I eventually sold my crafts to my friends (to use as gifts) and then eventually to other students after much persuading (them persuading, not me). Just before winter holiday was a busy time, I would crochet while studying. One year later, after making jewelry for a play, several friends asked me to make them similar earrings, bracelets and necklaces and that was surprisingly where the profit was. Which totally made sense! After all,  I was an earring queen: I always had a different pair for each outfit, colorful, funky, classic, chic, I had all my bases covered. I liked to make new ones to match my outfits, because I could never find the pairs that were just right at the store. After graduating it was a few years later until I made earrings for my bridal party. I’ve been itching to start my earring making again, so I made a stop at a craft store and restocked a few jewelry making essentials. I had so much fun, I made 20 pairs the first day! I think I’ll set some up during our community yard & craft sale and see how they do…

I got a preloved top earlier this week (it’s the first picture in this post) and decided I needed to make earrings to go with it, since none of mine quite worked. I pulled out some jewelry making supplies and beads, started working, designing and creating my new chandelier earrings. Using red and this shade of blue together (for myself) pushed me a little out of my comfort zone, however I think it matches the top.

I think they turned out nicely and I’m looking forward to wearing them this fall. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
