Designer Crocheted Silver Sparkle and Crystal Beaded Evening Bag

June 21st, 2007

Well the silver evening bag is finished! Went snap! like a breeze. Then, figuring out how best to apply the beaded adornments was another story. Took me a little bit to decide how to display those luscious 24 Swarovski crystal teardrops…….. but I did it, and it looks amazing. Got some fairly significant ooh’s and aah’s from ALL the people I showed it to.

So, here goes…………….

And here’s a closeup of the crystal beaded details ~ still a little hard to see as it’s silver on silver basically and crystals are more or less tranparent however the aurora borealis in the crystals helps.

Here’s the deal ~ it’s really a sparkly show-stopper:

Silver acrylic crocheted evening bag with lovely silver metallic crocheted header and ruffle. Evening bag is trimmed with three layers of beaded looping fringe made out of clear crystal silver lined Czech glass rocaille beads and 24 clear crystal aurora borealis Swarovski® crystal teardrops. Each crystal teardrop has a sterling silver wrapped loop for strength, quality and simply a gorgeous touch! The sparkle is incomparable between all the silver yarn, metallic threads, beaded fringe and crystals. If you love silver, this is definitely the evening bag for you!

Double drawstring shoulder strap. 6″ wide, 9″ high.

Perfect for special dinner dates, weddings, proms, formal dinners and occasions, theatre nights, and other dressy occasions. One of a kind creation.

Easy care ~ spot hand wash the evening bag as needed, avoid beading as much as possible, lay out in towel to dry. Will give you years of use.

4 Styles of Beaded Spiral Earrings To Choose From

June 12th, 2007

I just realized I created four styles of these lovely earrings, so I thought I would display that here. I have to create more with the hearts dangling, right now I only have one pair, but that won’t be any problem at all!!

 I simply love making these earrings, sometimes it is a test of patience, but oh the rewards are worth it when each pair is done!

All can be custom ordered as outlined below. If you would rather we use 14 karat gold fill wire and ear hooks or sterling silver wire and sterling silver hooks, you may custom order that as well and we will give you our best price for the more expensive precious metal wire. Any earrings that have non tarnish gold plate over brass ~ we can change that to 14 karat gold fill ear wires instead and give you our best price for the upgrade. 

Here we go:

Spirals with hearts ~ can be made with any combination of Swarovski hearts, alone or with another bead or crystal, lampwork included. Can be custom ordered.

Emerald Crystal Heart Spiral Earrings

Emerald green Czech glass beads, tiny aurora borealis crystal Czech glass beads, clear crystal aurora borealis flat prism Swarovski® heart dangle from hand forged pure brass wire spirals. Gold plated over brass earwires.

Spirals with single 8mm bead or crystal ~ can be custom ordered as long as we can match the wire close enough.

Opal AB Spiral Earrings

A gorgeous opal aurora borealis Czech glass bead (has all the delicate fire-like nuances of the gemstone, simply beautiful) dangles from each hand forged white enamel coated Colourcraft® copper wire spiral. Sterling silver earwires.

Spiral Earrings with crystal teardrops ~ these crystal teardrops will either be Celestial Crystal or Swarovski, depending on the color you prefer if you custom order.

Cobalt AB Teardrop Spiral Earrings

A single stunning cobalt blue aurora borealis Celestial Crystal teardrop bead dangles from each hand forged midnight blue enamel coated Colourcraft® copper wire spiral. Sterling silver earwires.

Spiral Earrings with Swarovski Strass crystal prisms ~ we usually purchase limited edition Strass crystal prisms to ensure that your jewelry is unique. So, if you’d like to custom order these, let us know what color of crystal prism you are looking for and we will see if that color or one similar is available. We have several direct sources for these lovely and very limited run prisms, so we’ll do our best for you to hopefully get either an exact match or something very close.

Pink Strass Crystal Prism Spiral Earrings
