Simple Jewelry

To balance out the more complicated earrings I've been drawn to lately, I decided to whip out a few super simple pieces this week. I pulled out a texture that I've not used much to cut pieces for these two pair of earrings, accented with pearls. I've procrastinated on purchasing pearls, because the ones I wanted are expensive. I wanted the nice large round pearls, not the tiny ones or the rough shaped ones, and that made them seem too pricey when looking at a full strand. But I finally convinced myself that parsed out one or two at a time, they don't really add that much to the materials cost of my jewelry, especially when paired with a simpler silver component.
