Elizabeth Earrings

Tammy Powley
I thought it would be fun to name some of my projects just like many of us name some of our jewelry pieces. After designing these earrings, I thought for a few minutes and decided they reminded me of Jane Austen’s character named Elizabeth Bennett from her book Pride and Prejudice. In this novel, Elizabeth is portrayed as an intelligent young lady with character. She is also praised for her beautiful blue eyes.

To make a similar pair, you’ll need:

4 teardrop crystal beads
4 head pins
approx. 4 inches of chain
2 earring hooks
Round-nosed pliers
Chain-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
