Beaded Earrings - Desert Evening - by Mava Seaman

These are one-of-a-kind earrings. I will not repeat the exact design or colors.

These earrings are made with Japanese Delicas using a peyote stitch to create the base of the earring. They are hung from a 15 x 3.5mm sterling silver stardust bail with 19 gauge, sterling silver 12mm French "fishhook" earring wires with a 1.5mm ball.

The fringe is made to match the base colors using Japanese size 15 seed beads. The base is trimmed with a picot stitch to give it a "frill" using matte sterling silver plate size 15 seed beads.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I have been beading since the mid-1990s and am self-taught. In the beginning, I mainly used Bead&Button magazine and made some of their many projects until I learned enough techniques and stitches to begin designing my own things. I enjoy making beaded projects using different stitches and styles and rarely make the same design twice. I rarely sell my pieces. I decided to start making earrings and barrettes to sell in October 2021.

I love to see other bead artists' work and share ideas and techniques.

I will consider bespoke, as well. Just message me!
