Wire earrings with Swarovski crystals

I love the colors - bluish green and black- one of my favorite combinations. It's very classy too and lightweight although it looks heavy.

Palawan Fresh Water Cultured Pearls

I love PEARLS! They look very elegant even in your simplest outfit. They're my favorite pieces too when making jewelries, esp. earrings. I usually buy them in strings at Quiapo. They come in different sizes and colors too.



There are generally 2 types of pearls - saltwater and freshwater. Saltwater pearls are very expensive and very rare since they are naturally grown from deep-sea oysters, while freshwater pearls are grown in mussels found in freshwater lakes.

If you come to Palawan, make sure you buy yourself a pair of these freshwater pearl earrings. Contrary to what most of you believe, they're not FAKE! These are pearls too, only that they're cultured.



They're perfect pasalubongs to your moms, sisters and girl friends. A box set is less than 100 Pesos only, cheaper than the ones I see in Manila. Who needs expensive pearls these days when you can achieve the same amount of elegance by wearing these cultured pearls?

Functional Wire Earrings

Fiber wire size 5 (recommended). This piece requires a lot of twisting so make sure the wire you use is not too thick to bend. I used size 6 here which I don't recommend. You can use size 4 or 5.



Pair of hook earrings and several pieces of stones


The challenge is to make the pair exactly identical. No rules here, just twist and turns and be as creative as you can be. You can also use different beads - colors and texture.



Promise, I'll do better next time. I'll use size 5 and different beads. The wire I used is kinda hard to bend thus the result. These are really nice and unique pair of earrings. As much as possible, I don't make the same designs unless the buyer request for it.
