I only manage to make one side of the earrings today, and as I was wearing it to capture a photo (requested by customer, earrings will be sanitized later before shipping), I realized that I have forgotten one important thing - with multiple colors Chaton Montees I should reverse the crystal position for the other side of earrings to make them symatrical.

I am lucky to realize this before making the other side of earrings. ☺️

Handmade Ear Jacket Earrings, Finalized design, Wire Wrapped Jewelry

Handmade Ear Jacket Earrings, with height options.

This is the finalized version of my Handmade Ear Jacket Earrings - and have sold two pairs after posting it on social platforms (thank you!)

I am very happy to find that the design is so well accepted, though I must declare it once and for all here:
This design is not my "raw" design, I saw a machine made ear jacket like this on a magazine last year while I was pregnant with my son and for tradition sake, I was not supposed to hand make anything throughout the entire pregnancy, I waited, but started to sketch and brain storming if I were to make something similar with wire wrapping technique, how should I do so.

This design was first materialized on 11 May 2015, and revised yesterday, finalized today.

Just like to take the opportunity to thank you for liking it. :)

Handmade Ear Jacket with Three Height Options, Wire Wrapped Jewelry

Handmade Ear Jacket with Three Height Options - Wire Wrapped Jewelry

My 3 years old got excited and decided that she wants to have her earlobe pierced after seeing me putting this on - the revised version of Handmade Ear Jacket. 😝

Technically there are 3 height options, but the one closer to the bottom is only suitable for those who doesn't have much earlobes (there are people born without), I am using the middle ones; and the highest height option is for those who has thicker or largerer earlobes. 

Overall experience: had lots of fun. :)

Will post more later.

Handmade Ear Jacket, Wire Wrapped Jewelry

Handmade Ear Jacket

I first saw a ear jacket design last year while i was pregnant with my second child and then it's been on my to-try list since, today I finally get to play around with it. It is not perfect, there are rooms for making it sturdier and steadier, I will give it a few more try when I am able to. :)

Handmade Ear Jacket

Again, it's a variation from my Bridesmaid Earrings Tutorial, using White Opal Swarovski Chaton Montee and Aquamarine Swarovski Chaton Montees. The array of Chaton Montees need to be sturdier and I will fix that in my next attempt.

Handmade Ear Jacket

The distance between the earrings post with the jacket is about 0.5", I understand that I should be making a few more length options but I have no idea what measurements should I be looking at right now - do share if you know!

And... in case you don't know, I actually post more stuff on my instagram - http://instagram.com/decorshandmades, pop over if you are #instausers too, @decorshandmades or #decorshandmades.

That's all for now, I shall be busy for the next few days on refining my minimalist series before I post again, til then, see you around.

Storage for beads - MUJI Acrylic Stacking Case

This video is to show you how do I store my beads and stone-settings.

I purchased all my stones in bulk, so it is critical to get them very organized to save me time from searching them from their original packaging.

I use Muji Acrylic Stacking Cases to store them, it comes in 3 different configuration: Large, small, and stacking case, I am using the large and the stacking case version. The beauty of it is that I could unscrew them from a group and group one container with another, cause I don't usually need all of the beads, just one or two may be.

In this video I am grouping Navette Settings container with Navette stones, to see how I set stones for Navette beads, here's the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlvjhbz0sYg
