Jane Austen Earrings

By Tammy Powley, About.com

These earring projects, using a combination of wire and beads, were inspired by Jane Austen.

Royal Roundelle Crystal Jet Earrings

Black jet crystal beads were a staple in jewelry worn during the Victorian period. These earrings are a mix of old a new.

Sensibility Earrings

These Sensibility Earrings are one of two pair I made after being inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

Sense Earrings

Because Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility has two heroines, I've created two earrings for it, so this is the "sense" pair.

Persuasion Earrings

I tried to create earrings that would be appropriate for an older heroine to wear such as Anne Elliot in Jane Austen's book Persuasion. That is why I selected jet crystal beads to accent the sterling wire.

Mansfield Park Earrings

Pearls are believed to symbolize purity, and Fanny’s purity of heart is a perfect match to these sweet pearl earrings.

Becoming Jane Lampwork Earrings

Lampwork teapot beads are teamed with crystals and silver to create earrings any Janite would be proud to wear.

Teapot Bead Pendant/Earrings

Use wire techniques, a bead, and a fun teapot component to make this sweet teapot pendant. Make two and add hooks for some teapot earrings.

Emma Earrings

I can picture Emma, of Jane Austens' book by the same name, wearing these silver and crystal earrings over afternoon tea.

Elizabeth Earrings

Crystal teardrop beads, a little chain, and a few findings are used to make these earrings of character.
