Black and White

I've had a request from Ms. C who asked if I could make up two custom pairs of EarHugs for her: single white pearls on one, single black pearls on the other. The white pearl pair was easy - my cup runneth over with white pearls at the moment - but as I went off hunting black pearls this morning, my fingers were firmly crossed.

Luckily, my trusty Bead Shop lady Cherie had several gorgeous black pearls off a strand, and after falling into unrepentant love with them I grabbed several and brought them home. They're so cool - very, very dark with almost a silver-green cast. I hope Ms. C loves them as much as I do! (I'm making myself a pair of these immediately.)


One thing I have to point out: it's a dreary day on the island, and as I generally photograph in daylight, these images don't pop quite the way I like them to, but hopefully we get the idea!

These earrings will be $6 each pair once I post them at my happy little shop, http://www.suzyrocksdesigns.etsy.com/.


Enjoy!

Sweet little oval pearls, almost perfectly white, with a very faint pink cast (no yellowing at all).




Yummy! These are just lovely pearls: great color, great weight, gorgeous dark, dark green-silver cast over the black.

New EarHug Family

Here's a preview of a series of new sterling silver EarHugs - mostly mixes of stones, and a little different from my standard style. They will not all be the same price this time, as some of the stones are a little more dear than others. Please check my shop for info. I'll start posting them this afternoon: http://www.suzyrocksdesigns.etsy.com/.
