IDEA: November's Jewel Earrings

November's Jewel Earrings
These delightful earrings are made with our sterling silver earring hoop with loops and our Swarovski crystals in the beautiful autumn jewel colors of olivine, amethyst and topaz. You can also make a matching Jewel Bracelet and Jewel Necklace. What a great piece of jewelry for that November birthday or for anyone who loves the fall colors. Note: If you are making the necklace and/or bracelet, you will only need 1 package of each of the 6mm crystals, crimps, clasps, figure eight rings and 1 spool of SoftFlext for all three ideas.
