Iolite Earrings - Focus

Iolite Earrings - FocusThe creator of this piece says: I like the mechanical function of these earrings. Wire wrapping each bead separately gives it a fun swing.

What you will need:

  • 2 - 10mm faceted iolite roundels
  • 2 - 12mm Celtic style sterling beads
  • 4 - 1 1/2" pieces of 22 gauge round half hard sterling wire.
  • 1 - Sterling 4mm ball post and nut set

Create head pins with two pieces of the wire by folding one end back onto itself. Slide on the Celtic bead and make and open link wire wrap at the top.

Make an open link wire wrap with the other two pieces of wire and slide the iolite bead onto it. Make an open link wire wrap on the other end of the wire and before committing the wrap, add the Celtic bead to it.

Attach the earring posts to it and you have a new fun pair of earrings!

About the Artist: Tish McDermott

About two years ago, I began making jewelry when I couldn't find anything that 'did it' for me in the mass-produced, commercial jewelry. I started out by looking at how commercial pieces were made, and thought I would try it. The stones I use speak to me, whispering confidence, peace, and protection. My pieces are unique, choosing stones for their properties rather than their colors.

Once I started making jewelry for myself, it became my passion, my obsession, my therapy, my joy. JustATish designs were born!

My inspiration comes from everything around me. In my dreams, I process the sights, sounds, and experiences of the day and design the next day's jewelry.
