UFO: Flower Hoop Earrings

I made these hoops a couple of months ago, after I saw something similar in a local bead store. I couldn't quite get the tension on the wire wraps right so I abandoned the project.

Since I'm cleaning out my unfinished projects and all my earrings were stolen when the house was burglarized, I put them on simple earwires. Tada! (But I did play with the wires to even the flowers our a little more.)

A Blurb About Me

Life is hectic. As you can read, in addition to designing jewelry, I'm a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and I like to bake. :)

I also like to write, hence the blog (and it's lack of focus on jewelry.) Here, you'll find bits and pieces of what it's like to be a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and maybe some of the yummy things I make around here.

As for the jewelry, my creations rely on a variety of mixed media and techniques ranging from traditional Japanese arts, silversmithing, and plain old trial and error to produce beach inspired artisan jewelry. All designs are original and produced as one of a kind or as part of very limited edition runs. You can see them below or visit my Etsy store.

Of course, you can always leave a comment, like Simply Leilani on facebook, or subscribe to the blog for free! (You don't have to buy anything from me to be my friend, I promise!)
