Glass Pearl,
Wood And Crystal Beads For Dangle Earrings Making
Glass pearl is a simulated pearl: It is created with layers of plastic over a layer of shell.
These particular beads are less expensive than freshwater pearls, are perfect for elegant earrings making. They come in different shapes, (baroque, round, fancy) delicate colors (romantic pink, lavender, grays, iron, yellow olive, olive green...) and sizes.
Here is an idea : Mix these grey shiny beads with flower crystal components, wood beads and fancy chains for charming dangling earrings...
We played here with contrasting material (shiny pearl and mat wood), the use of flower components ( earwires and crystal flowers) in different ways.
