The Earjeans 365 Collection: #277


I call earrings #277 Geometry Girl.

Geometry wasn't my favorite subject in school, but putting these shapes and beads together puts them on my favorites list of pieces to wear!

Our materials
Wood beads
Copper

What I really like about these is that I can complete the same process and each of the pieces will look slightly different. That is the beauty of handmade items :)

Design time for these is about 20 minutes.

And here's our new earrings

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #278


Earring #278 are called "Infinity x 2" and is inspired by several of my married friends. Seeing their relationships grow stronger and blossom through the good, bad, and indifferent seasons of life helps me hold on to the day I find my special someone. So I dedicate these earrings to all my married friends and my future husband where ever you may be :)

Our materials
earthy color wood beads
copper

These earrings took about 20 minutes to create and I'm very happy with how simple and elegant they turned out. I'm definitely making a pair for myself.

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #279


I call earrings #279 "City Girl" inspired by a recent drive through downtown. (Sometimes you have to take a moment and appreciate where you are in that exact moment.)

Our materials
Copper
And that's it, lol

I basically cut a super long piece of copper and wrapped it around a container I have in my workspace. Then I wrapped the wire so it would hold it's shape and created a loop for the ear hook.

And here's our new earrings

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #280


I was inspired to create these earrings while I watched an episode of Project Runway. I love that show! My favorite designer for Season 9 is Anya Ayoung-Chee. I really liked the different pieces she designed and I would always watch the show to see what earrings she was going to wear next.

I enjoy blending traditional and non-traditional elements to create very unique jewelry and Earring #280 is no exception!

Our materials
peacock feathers
wine corks
suede cord
copper
seed beads

Design time for these earrings is 1 hour and boy was it worth it all! I think these are one of the longest earrings I've created. They are 11 3/4" long but really light weight. They would look perfect with a top that falls off the shoulder, tube or halter top or dress.

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #281

Piece #281 is dedicated to my good friend and an amazing musician, Eric Thomas. Happy Birthday!

"Elevate The Quest"

Our materials
hematite beads
Black Onyx frosted bead

Hematite is a calming stone but also offers support for your hopes, dreams, wishes, and desires by encouraging you to "reach for the sun". Hematite reminds you that the only limitations that exist are those that you place on yourself. (http://www.sobrietystones.com)

I chose to make this piece a bracelet with these specific stones to symbolize a strong circle of support(hematite) centered around one special individual (black onyx) who has the power to achieve all the he desires. Go for it all!

Here's our new bracelet

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #282

As I made this next piece, I thought about all the people I have in my "encouragement circle". The encouragement circle is what I call my circle of friends and family that I exchange words or gestures of encouragement with. They are people I hold near and dear to me as they help me to be the woman I am.

#282 "Stay Encouraged" gemstone bracelet

Our materials

gemstone beads
jewelry chain
jewelry wire
findings

I used gemstones because they are solid natural rocks - just like my friends :)
Design time for this is about 15-20 minutes.

And here's our new bracelet

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #283


This beautiful jewelry piece was pulled from the Earjeans vault to finally be released. I wrapped each of the beads with non tarnish jewelry wire and then used a sterling silver chain and clasp for the necklace. The earrings are small enough to wear in the office and the bracelet fits most sizes as it stretches for an easy fit.
