jewelry.

Today in the mail I got some jewelry parts I ordered. I looked for a long time to find jewelry for my bridesmaids, but I couldn't find anything I liked. And it was expensive! Even when I found something I kind of liked on etsy, I thought, Well, somebody made that! I could do that! After a little research, I ordered the pieces to make earrings and necklaces myself ... exactly how I want them. Aqua glass pearls.

Earrings made with a ball post stud, earwire safety nut, corrugated rondel beads, 8mm glass pearls, acculon wire cable, and crimp beads.

The final product! I have white glass pearls to make a necklace for me. I made 6 pairs of earrings; 2 extra sets just in case something breaks. Most of the pieces I bought came in sets of 100, so I could make 54 more earrings if I want. I'm pretty sure I will never buy jewelry again. When you calculate price per piece, I made a set of earrings for 34 cents. That's what I'm talking about.

59 days to go!
