This Necklace and Earrings set is totally my creation.
This happened two weeks ago when I just walked in one of my favorite beadstores looking for brass trace chain and earwire.

As always, one usually doesn't go with any other intention other than to buy what one needs. What happened? Well, this girl comes up and tells me that I could have all the beads I could fit in a plastic zip bag for $3.75 (beads that were lying on a table). I was like: "Oh, really?"

"Really," said the girl.

So I grabbed a bag and started picking. My father, who was with me, was worried that I couldn't fit those beads. And I assured him that I would make them fit. Anyhow, among the beads, are the ones you see above. When I saw those, instantly, inspiration struck me like a soothing gush of water.

I already had the chain and the fancy jump rings at home. BTW...I use these jumprings alot in my creations because they are VERY good! They don't tarnish as quickly as the regular ones.

Materials:

Black donut glass beads, silver-plated trace chain, and silver-plated metal components.

Measurements:

The necklace hangs 11 1/2 inches long.
The earrings are 3 inches long.

Estimated Cost:

This could go for $25.00.
