I use crystals, pearls, and other beads to make angel jewelry and these wings go nicely with all of them. There are several other styles I use but these may be my favorites. These are so much prettier than the quilted version you find in craft shops. Beadaholic is one of my favorite places to buy parts for my angels and other earrings. Their delivery time is very fast. One hint on the wings: I use gold wings on cream colored pearls, and silver wings on white pearls. They just seem to compliment each other more.
