If you're looking for a different kind of earring these are for you. The rectangle beads are made from Czech glass with a Picasso looking design carved into them. The glass is an opaline violet and the
grooves and edges are highlighted in light brown. Each side of the earring is a little different. Round lilac Swarovski crystals cap each end of the rectangle and they hang from silver french hooks.
The Picasso beads have been in my stash for quite a while now and couldn't decide what to do with them, then I bough the lilac beads and knew they were a perfect compliment to the Picasso beads and would look great in an earring.
I like these these earrings a lot and was even tempted to keep them, but posted them in my Etsy store. You can find them at https://www.etsy.com/listing/220844951/picasso-rectangle-earrings?ref=shop_home_active_1
Until next time, have a good week and stay warm.

Vintage Hearts
There are new earrings from my workroom to show off. This week I’m getting into the spirit of Valentine’s Day with these vintage look
earrings.
The antiqued copper make them look very
vintage and the pink Swarovski crystals in the center bring an additional
feminine look to them. These are a great gift for the woman in your life, or
for yourself.
Copper is the metal to wear this year and the color of the
year is Marsala, a wine color. These earrings will compliment your Masala outfit
perfectly and many other colors too.
The airy design of the hearts makes them lightweight, and at
a length of 1 and 3/4 inches they are great for any hair style.
These earrings can be found in my store at www.demdesigns.etsy.com
Have a great week and I'll see you next time.

Stellar Citrus Earrings
Last year I was a little distracted and wasn’t able to blog
as much as I wanted to, my apologies for being away so long.
With the New Year I have a new determination to blog at
least once a week and if you feel the need to give me a push to blog more, my
email address is denise@jewelrybydm.com.
I will be happy for the reminder and to hear from you. Even if you feel like sending an email with
topics you would like to see in this blog or comments on how I can make it
better, it would be great to hear from you since I feel like blogging is
sometimes a one way communication.
If you look closely at the orange crystal you will see that
the orange has yellow mixed into it. I
found these beads in the summer while in a bead store in New York and bought a
package of them along with a package of yellow beads that have a little orange
in them. I plan to make a bracelet that
can be worn with these earrings.
These earrings may not end up in my Etsy store because there
is a woman at work that saw the crystals when I bought them and wants first
dibs, but watch for the blue and purple earrings of the same shape in the
coming months. If you want yellow ones
contact me at the above email address and I will do my best to get the yellow
ones for you. Just know that there were
a limited quantity of the yellow and when they are gone I’m not sure if I can
get more. They do come in lots of other colors
though.
Until next week….

Vintage green earrings
In my last blog I talked about the color of the year, which
is green. As promised I’m bring more
green pieces out for you to see. These
earrings are my favorite style and I have made myself earrings using several
colors from the Swarovski Rivoli collection.
I used 12mm
Swarovski Rivoli crystals which are set in vintage look TerraCast settings. The
color of the crystal is called Chrysolite and looks like a beautiful pale green.
I think the Chrysolite and vintage
setting make a fabulous combination. At shows I can’t keep the vintage look
earrings in stock, they go quickly. This
is the first time I’ve used the Chrysolite, I usually put golden shadow or dark
indigo in the vintage setting, so this is a first and I’m very happy with it.
Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
You can find more pictures of this earring at https://www.etsy.com/listing/95580088/antiqued-copper-with-crystal-bead
Come back again for more jewelry that features green stones.

Challenge Week 47
We are back to cold weather but I still have spring on my
mind and continue with the spring theme.
This week I experimented with Swarovski Rivoli buttons
and wire and made this really great bracelet.
I am so pleased with how it came out because I have had this idea in my
head for a long time. I wanted to make a
bracelet inspired by flowers on a vine and I think this bracelet looks like the
inspiration.
The flower is a Swarovski Rivoli and I used antiqued
silver leaves on two pieces of 20 gauge wire, then wrapped the wire with 14
gauge wire.
Let me know what you think!
