Looking for a matching set of earrings

The Simplest Little Earrings

Because I like to offer all sorts of styles and price points in my shop- and because I like to WORK in so many different styles, I've recently started offering these dainty and simple stud earrings. I offer them in different sizes and different prices and all of them under $10.

What do you think? Aren't they adorable? My daughter is in love with them and wants me to make her some now, too.

Need Some Inexpensive Gift Ideas?

I just created and listed the Prism collection: simple and lightweight wire wrapped crystal earrings in assorted colors and metals.


The best part? They're only $10 each in my shop!


Here are a few pairs. What do you think?

New Addition: Shells!

I just got some mussel shells in different colors and they're so pretty! They remind me of my favorite wind chimes.

What do you think? Here are some new ones I've made and listed:

New Things I'm Working On

Here are some new things I've been working on the last few days.
What do you think?

Pink & aqua tourmaline and pearl anklet

Vintage brass bird & turquoise necklace

Hot pink chalcedony earrings

Smoky quartz earrings

Rainy Days

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Rainy Sundays usually manage to get me down, too. But not today! Today the kids are gone and I'm watching my favorite shows on DVR and making earrings! I love this cute little style and am making them in various colors and metals.


Here are a couple I've made this morning:

  

  

If you're feeling so inclined, these can be found in my Etsy shop.

  

Saturday Blog Shopper Specials

Mention that you are a Saturday Blog Shopper and ALL jewelry ships FREE to you!


I was invited this week to take part in an Etsy group called Saturday Blog Shoppers. Of course I said yes and was super excited to do so! What a wonderful network of talented sellers. Make sure you check them out, too. There is a list of Saturday Blog Shoppers here. Please make sure you tell them waterwaif sent you!


Today for sale I have many pairs of earrings and one to fit every budget! I'd like to feature two pairs, though. They are both similar in color, both of them showcasing aqua and pink which I think look fabulous together!

This first is pink AB crystal and apatite.  AB crystal is so named because it shines like Aurora Borealis! You can find these earrings here in my Etsy shop.

The second pair I'd like to feature are these aqua chalcedony and pink tourmaline chandelier earrings. Tourmaline is a beautiful, rare, natural stone and I just love working with it (and wearing it!) You can find these earrings here in my Etsy shop.





Leave me a quick comment, if you would, to let me know what you think of these earrings or my shop. I'd love to hear from you!

Become a fan on facebook to learn about exclusive sales, updates, and discounts!
