Athena Earrings - Amethyst Luster & Blue Opal


ATHENA EARRINGS
  • 11/0 seed beads Toho "Gold Lustered Light Tanzanite" (325)
  • 8/0 seed beads Toho "Gold Lustered Light Tanzanite" (325)
  • 4mm druks "Opaque Gold Amethyst Luster"
  • SuperDuo beads "Opaque Gold Amethyst Luster"
  • SuperDuo beads "Silk Blue Opal"



I wanted to make a pair of earrings to go with one of my tops that has a lot of colors on it. Although I have beads in some of the other colors, these were the only two that went well enough with each other. These were very quick and easy to make using Deb Roberti's "Athena Earrings" pattern which you can buy HERE at Around the Beading Table. You can also buy the pattern HERE in her Etsy shop. The pattern also includes instructions for making a matching bracelet. I left off the extra bit at the top of the earrings and added an 8/0 seed bead for attaching the jump rings.


UPDATE: Deb just informed me this morning that her website, Around the Beading Table, will be down for a few days while she moves it to a new hosting site. In the meantime, many of her patterns are available HERE in her Etsy shop. If you are looking for one of her free patterns, just keep checking back in a few days to see if her website is back online. The URL will remain the same.
