Update & New Earrings (from the 60s!)

I'm still here, don't worry!

I've been rather busy with the upcoming launch of my website, obviously the launch date's been postponed...oops! Well, my husband's a procrastinator. :P

Speaking of whom, he recently brought to my attention a cable TV show, Mad Men, set in the 60s which I have grown to love. (It's a good show, you should watch it)

It is also that show that gave me the inspiration of this new pair of earring that I HAD to make after I watched a particular episode.

The original design was (from what I could tell) made from GIANT glass pearls in cream, which I don't even know where I can get my hands on those. I'm talking about at least 20-25mm in diameter.

But it was just too cute to resist. It has a very clean look, just the way I like it.

SO! I improvised. I used Swarovski crystallized round crystals, 14mm (the largest is 20mm), and crystal rondelles in silver to make this pair of earrings.

Check it out! It's listed on my etsy shop:
