A Bounty of Bead and Wire Earrings

Nathalie Mornu

Lark Jewelry & Beading


Holiday shopping this year was a wonderful experience. For the first time, in what seemed to be a long time, the stores were filled with shoppers. They were actually carrying bags and not just window shopping.

Many of the jewelry counters were filled with a sparkling array of items. Many customers were displaying an avid interest in earrings. In the past when shopping for these ear lobe enhancers, I would usually focus on a single pair. Not so for the today younger and older set. Multiple chandelier, studs, pearls, cz’s and other stunners protrude and hang in profusion from pierced ears and rims, noses, lips, eyebrows, belly buttons, and god knows where else.

This book “A Bounty of Bead & Wire Earrings,” gives the reader an array of choices of styles and materials from which to choose. The basics, before starting out, are all presented at the beginning. And then project after project is presented with detailed instructions and glorious pictures. No guess work here.

Chains, wire wrapping, seed beads, faceted beads, round beads, pearls, briolette, fire polished beads, etc., are utilized in fanciful designs. Delicate charms and crystals are arranged on dainty chains. Each project is geared to the young at heart.

Wherever your piercing, “A Bounty of Bead & Wire Earrings” will certainly fill your “holely” spirit.
