Techniques and Experience
The pearl chandelier earrings are based on Right Angle Weave. Please don’t groan! In fact, this project is a really easy introduction to the technique. So, you are going to learn the basics. Then add a little embellishment that will make your project look very complicated… It’s not!
This is a great project to try if you are a beginner. Or, if you want a little RAW refresher and a quick make.
About the pearl chandelier earrings
I would classify these as more ‘chunky’ earrings. So, they have a drop of about 3″ (7.5cm) below the ear wires. They aren’t heavy to wear, but if you like delicate earrings, this probably isn’t the pattern for you.
You can have a lot of fun trying out different colourways with this project. The earrings are quick to make. So, you can run up several pairs to match different outfits.
If you run a craft stall, this could be a good pattern for you. I am very happy for you to sell the earrings that you make – just please credit me as the designer. I know from experience that this design is popular. My kits are quickly snapped up at bead fairs each time!
So, I would love to see your take on this design. Let me know which colours work well for you.
