Beaded Jewelry

I made jewelry for both myself and my four bridesmaids. I won't post the stuff I made for my bridesmaids quite yet, because I want it to be a surprise. But this is the necklace and earrings I made for myself. It's purple and silver glass beads strung on jewelry wire. The big stones are amethyst. I finished all five necklaces and pairs of earrings in one night and ended up with too little sleep and blisters on my right hand. But I was pretty proud of myself. This was my first attempt at making beaded jewelry and my learning curve was pretty steep. I'm very happy with the results. I may post the other pictures after the wedding in September.
