Festive Holiday Jewelry You Can Make

Tis the season for holiday jewelry and lots of good cheer! Even though I am a jewelry designer, I must admit that daily, I don’t always wear a lot of jewelry. I tend to put it on for special occasions or when I take the time to coordinate an outfit (as opposed to my quick “mom” attire that I throw on to get the kids to school on time). However, come November and December, I LOVE wearing jewelry. It’s during these holiday months that I have the most fun wearing pumpkins, bells, Christmasy sparkle, and cute charms. Holiday jewelry is not only fun to wear, but also fun to make. We have created a whole section for Christmas projects that you can make

The button above will take you to all our projects, but here are some of my very favorite!

Sleigh Ride Earrings. The triangle crystal on these earrings is a perfect modern take on a Christmas tree. I like how these are festive and in the spirit of the holidays but still modern and elegant.

Holiday Tassel Earrings. I just made this pair of earrings and I love how long and sparkly they are. The new PRESTIGE olive beads are really easy to work with and their graduated sizes are fun. The tassels top-off the festive feel and add to the elegance. 

 

Dancing Angels Earrings. I remember being so delighted that this design "worked." I had the concept in mind but was not sure how to pull it off. I think they are especially fun to wear because the little angel's feet "dance" as you walk. 

Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree Earrings. These classic tree earrings use PRESTIGE crystal margarita beads layered in descending size to make a tree shape. I was taught this design "trick" to make a tree many years ago and I am still so delighted by it! The margarita beads come in a host of green shades too so you can have green trees as well. 

Verdant Luxury Bracelet. Last but not least, I love this memory wire bracelet. The design is a bold one with 6 full coil of beads but you can easily adapt it to just 1 coil or 3 coils. There is a lot of flexibility with this design and although it's perfect for Christmas, you can really wear it year round.

Ma’am
20-25 years ago I came across a pattern for beaded hoods for Christmas ornaments. I had a prolific summer and fall in which I used that base pattern to create about 7 different ones. I have since lost the pattern and technics. Any idea’s on how I May rediscover it?
Loved your angels, and the bracelet. I am back to rediscover a lost creative joy and think your site will be a major part of that
Thank You
John Mullally
