Pro-Life Earrings:  10% of all sales go towards the Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia.

Heaven's Gift
I will customize these with either pink, blue or red accent beads.  The clear bead is not glass, but crystal, as I wanted to capture the purity of a child's soul.  The silver feet are the familiar "Precious Feet" that memorialize a 10-week old infant's tiny toes.  A silent but effective reminder that speaks on behalf of those who have no voice.

In Remembrance
These can also be customized with pink, red or blue beads (just specify at checkout).  The beads are slightly larger on this set.  The Precious Feet are made of silver, and the clear bead is made of crystal.  Much like the pink ribbons for breast cancer, these earrings aren't so much fashion as statement.  Speak for those who have no voice.

Baubles

Trinkets
These are just adorable.  I wanted super dangly earrings that were feminine and made little trinket sounds as I moved.  These fit the bill!  Colors can be customized, but the two little charms at the bottom are a heart and a flower that clink together as you walk.  I love this set!  It's so much fun!

Purple and gold, these earrings are all royalty.  There is sun in the center of four swirls creating a delicate pattern on either side of the golden bead.  Two deep purple beads flank either side with the larger of the two balancing the set out at the bottom.

Happy New Year

Gold & Sage
These dangles are stunning.  Sophisticated and incredibly refractive, these will turn heads.  They reflect every bit of light and seem to shimmer.  Creamy white with green and gold flecks throughout.

Purple Sass
A unique combination of glass, crystal and wooden beads, these dangles are a celebration of the color purple.  The deep merlot crystal trickles into a bright orchid-colored bead, both supporting the centerpiece - an enchanting plum briolette.

Mistletoe
These remind me of my grandmother's Christmas earrings.  A fun mix of plastic / glass tiger's eye beading finished off with gold wire-work gets the holiday vibe going early.

My favorite beads, these silver hearts have lace-like patterns cut out forming small flowers and swirls that are truly stunning.  Two little flowers are nestled between garnet colored beads for a kiss of color.

A silver heart with intricate floral cut-outs creating an almost lace-like pattern throughout the bead.  Two blushing pink beads flank the hearts and are bookended by tiny white globes.

First Kiss
Shorter dangles featuring a pewter heart adorned with two daisies.  A crystal bead tops the heart (indicative of innocence) and the deep red signifies blossoming love.  Very fun, and very pretty.

Divine Love
It was Divine Love that drew forth Christ from the womb of His Mother in order to gain Salvation from the Throne of the Crucifixion.  Two blood red beads surround a heart that symbolizes the Love Christ has for us.

Black and Silver Hearts
I made these because I wanted a pair of black and silver earrings.  Turns out a friend liked them, too, so I'm posting these as an available option for those who like the simplicity.  I can alter the beading color to suit your taste.

Butterflies

Fly for the Cure
Featuring real amethyst beads and shimmering metallic purple, the colors matches the Lupus Awareness ribbon for which these were created.  The butterfly, symbolic of Lupus due to the tell-tale butterfly rash a person gets, is prominently displayed.  These earrings were made for the Lupus Loop runners / walkers, so they are not super long so they don't get tangled in hair or ear-buds.  50% of sales this month will go directly to the Lupus Loop to support a friend who is participating to benefit her mother and all those who suffer with this disease. 

Wear these earrings and when someone tells you how cute they are, tell them what they stand for:  Hope.

Moe and Larry
A reader asked me to create a pair of earrings that captured how much her two cats (Moe and Larry!) love to stalk her fishbowl.  This was my response.  :)  If you have kitties who enjoy fish, these red-flecked beads will remind you of them!  Can be made using the black or clear "cat" beads.  Specify at checkout.
