Amber Flower-Power Earrings, Take Two: SOLD

 If you find yourself wearing bellbottoms (again!) or a gauzy embroidered blouse, maybe you need a pair of flower-power earrings to complete the retro look!

These are really lovely: A sterling silver daisy with a round bead of natural amber. 

Amber is not a gemstone, it's petrified resin, and lighter than gemstones, making these earrings especially comfortable to wear.  

The ear wires are sterling french wires. Let me know if you prefer another style of ear wires. I can accommodate most requests. 

Price: $28. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. mailing addresses. THESE ARE SOLD. 

Here's the other pair of amber flower-power earrings that I have for sale:

Chained Glass 3

 This is the third pair in my "chained" series of earrings made with glass beads.  

The design is quite simple, just four dramatic glass beads dangling from sterling silver chain, two on each earring. The four handmade beads are all different, but they have a kind of balance. Each earring has two amber rondelles as well. 

The earring on the left has a chunky square glass bead with an amber rondelle on either side of it and a round flat bead like a doughnut. The other earring has a chunky round bead with amber rondelles top and bottom and then a flat square bead. 

The earrings are about two and a half inches in length. The ear wires and chain are sterling silver. 

Price: $25. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. addresses.

Amber Flower-Power Earrings

 I found these freeform sterling silver flowers at one of my favorite bead stores here in Seattle, and I bought six, enough for three pairs of earrings. 

I paired them with amber beads, as shown here, and also with green jade. 

It's a simple design, but one with a lot of charm. 

Price: $25. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.

SPECIAL SALE: Beautiful Amber

 Some pieces of jewelry just about design themselves, like this choker of amber beads. 

The beads on this strand, which I bought in Omaha, were graduated both in size and in color, from palest yellow to a deep, rich brown. 

I spaced the amber beads on beading wire with glass seed beads, added some sterling silver chain and a handmade hook, plus a matching crystal to weight the extender chain, and voila--the most beautiful necklace you will see this week. 

The necklace fits necks from about 14 to 17 inches. 

Price: WAS $120. NOW $100.  The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.

Super-Simple Earrings in Jade and Amber

 I'm finding that my customers seem to prefer simple earring designs, and I made these two pairs with that in mind. 

They are similar to other pairs that have sold well on my site--just a sterling silver ring with a beautiful bead inside. One pair is amber, and the other jade.

I put them on round french ear wires, but you can have a different style of ear wire if you like.

Variation in Amber

 A reader saw my Dramatic Earrings in Amber the other day and asked me to make a shorter pair.

So I did, and I liked them so much I decided to put the design on my Web site. 

The original amber earrings are about 3 inches long, and these are closer to 2 inches, a better length for some women. 

You can order them with the small amber bead at the bottom, or with a small silver bead. The hoops, ear wires and all the findings are sterling silver. 

Price: $30. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.

Dramatic Earrings in Amber

 Amber is not, strictly speaking, a gemstone. It is fossilized tree resin. 

I love amber for its color and feel, although this is the first jewelry made with amber that I've put on my Web site. 

These earrings are really special. I wore a pair to Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, and the earrings alone made me feel dressed up and festive.

These are a variation on my "dramatic earrings"--Three amber beads of graduated sizes and graduated color dangle inside linked sterling silver rings. 

There is a tiny sterling silver flower at the bottom of each earring. The french ear wires are also sterling silver. 

They are quite dramatic without being too flashy. 

I have two pairs of the amber earrings.

Price: $40. The price includes all taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.
