Ethnic Style Purple & Turquoise Earrings

Tammy Powley
I made these earrings to go with my Raku Bead and Hemp Necklace. They have basically some of the same colors as well as similar sterling beads.

You'll need:

4 - 4mm Purple Velvet Swarovski crystal beads (#53015)
4 - 3mm Swarovski turquoise colored crystal beads (#5301)
2 - 8mm round Bali-style silver beads
2 - 8mmx8mm square Bali-style silver beads
2 sterling ear hooks
8 inches of 22-gauge dead-soft sterling wire
Round-nosed pliers
Chain-nosed pliers
Nylon-nosed pliers
Wire cutters

The Swarovski crystals and silver beads came from JSBeads.com.
