Oceanside Opulence Earrings

Sometimes you want the blingity, bling, bling and sometimes you want a simple pair of earrings. Most of the times, I opt for simple and this lovely pair of earrings, in one of my favorite color combinations, fits the ticket.

Simple wire wrapping techniques using a large focal bead, some pearls and branch coral (and who doesn't need some inspiration to work with branch coral?) are all you need to create your own pair of Oceanside Opulence Earrings. However, this is such a basic technique that you could add any combination or type of beads that you want. How about a large, black crystal and creamy pearls, omit the branch coral and repeat the crystal bunch from the top for a pair of over the top earrings that you can wear with your simple black dress. Or, how about some resin bezels as your focal bead or a large white pearl or .... the possibilities are endless with this design.
