Vintage Glass Bead Earrings

It's no secret that I love vintage glass beads. I have quite a collection of necklaces. And I've purchased plenty that I've deconstructed in order to use the delicious beads. The necklace that originally contained these super glossy cobalt blue beads was nothing special, so I had no problem cutting it up to give the beads new life.

They are hanging from my hand formed almond shaped sterling silver earwires, which I have a tutorial for.

These earrings are for sale in my etsy shop.

Beautiful Brass

While most of my jewelry is made from sterling silver, I have found that antiqued brass can be very warm. It is especially well suited for use with glass beads of all colors, especially the bright ones. This is perfect for me, as I have a huge collection of vintage and contemporary glass beads . Best of all, brass is very affordable.


I've recently listed these 2 pairs of earrings featuring brass filigree, some bold glass beads and antiqued brass leverback earwires. Click on either of the photos to go directly to the listings in my etsy shop.
