Chandelier earrings.

As I am always out to learn new techniques and expand my jewelry-making skills, I decided I would try making chandelier earrings as well as earrings on creoles. I particularly liked the chandelier type earrings as I could incorporate several different bead patterns in one earring. The earrings made on creoles weren't any different than making earring hoops really, except for the fact that they are attached to hooks in the end.
