When we think beads, we normally think
of bracelets, anklets, hair
ornaments and necklaces. What
about beaded earrings? Well,
earrings are mostly made of
metal, enamel and precious stones,
some of us think. Earrings are
fancy and expensive!
Fortunately, earrings don't
have to be fancy, or expensive,
or made of just one extravagant
material -- or a combination
thereof. A person can be elegant
without spending a lot of money,
and a person can be elegant
without looking so metallic!
American Indians used to create
very elaborate beaded jewelry
for different purposes. Among
them were dream catchers --
ritual items placed on cradles
and other sleeping areas in
order to drive away bad dreams
-- and beaded earrings for the
women. A common stone involved
in the making of bead jewelry
is turquoise, which is said
to lend strength of conviction
and character to the wearer.
Some beads are made of semi-precious
stones, and as such make beaded
earrings that are comparable
to earrings made from other
kinds of exotic materials --
like hemp. Beads come in virtually
every hue of the color spectrum,
so it is no problem to find
or make beaded earrings to catch
one’s fancy.
To achieve the natural, native
look, go for beaded earrings.
They are certainly unique and
attention-catching. Choose from
a variety of multicolored or
monochromatic designs, mix and
match according to your clothing,
and existing jewelry. If you
already have bead necklaces
or bracelets -- or even beaded
shirts! -- why not wear beaded
earrings to match?
Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez,
Marie Osmond and "Law and
Order" actress Elisabeth
Rohm have all purchased and
sported beaded jewelry at one
time or another, and it has
worked very well for them indeed!
Beaded earrings are easily
very colorful and elegant, with
a touch of that old world charm.
If you want a change from the
traditional metal-and-stone
ensembles in most jewelry outfits,
beaded accessories are the way
to go.
