Seashell and Freshwater Pearl Earrings in Aqua and Teal Blue

I took a little break from making bracelets to put a little pair of shell earrings together.

This is a perfectly matched pair of shells, as I found them still connected to each other :D

I made these for a friend, and I can't wait to give them to her! She likes small earrings, and these are so feminine, and dainty.

I absolutely love how they turned out! I will be making more that are similar to these, because I have a few sets of these matched shells in various sizes!

But now, it's back to bracelets. It sure was nice to make a pair of earrings for a change, though ;)

I have some wonderful news, too! My lupus is in remission, and my kidney function is 100% :D

I did a post about it yesterday on my lupus/autoimmune blog, and you can read about it here. I was so excited to share the news I had to do a post right away! Today it dawned on me that I should share my good news with you, too!

Love,
Del

Mermaid Seashell Necklace

Today I did a small change up on my coastal style  Mermaid Seashell Necklace. It has such a feminine feel to it, and has received 2 hearts, but I think it needed to be shortened. When I made this one, long necklaces were so the rage. Not so much anymore. I removed the chain, and changed the lobster clasp to a pretty textured toggle. I love how it hangs now! I think that I will make my jewelry the way I like it,  and not let some new fashion fad change my normal designs. I have several necklaces that I want to shorten now.

This pretty scallop shell is accompanied by Aventurine gemstone beads, jade green glass beads, and pink pressed glass roundels. I am very pleased with this one! You can get a more thorough description of this in my Etsy shop.

My photography skills are improving! It will be nice to have everything re-shot, and the shop looking more put together, and appealing to the eye.

Here's a sneak peak at what I'm working on now. These freshwater pearls are deliciously perfect, and the color is vivacious violet! 

The shell looks so pretty and delicate next to the pearls! This will make it's debut soon, so stay tuned.
