I started making jewelry a little over a year ago. Well, I have these groovy beads that belonged to my Mom.

I think they dangled from a chain like this one:

I did a search on Ebay & Etsy to see if I could find the other components and the missing purple bead. No luck. But, I did find this tutorial on how to make interchangeable earrings. It is by a very generous and talented woman, Rena Klingenberg. You will find her tutorial here: https://jewelrymakingjournal.com/changeable-bead-earrings-tutorial/
 These were fast and easy to make. I am so excited that I get to wear these earrings now. The ones that I have coveted since childhood. the ones that made my Mom look so stylin'.
