Cherry earrings

I'm back in the jewelry making! Only for a while longer, I suspect, because I'm going to tire of jewelry making supplies all over the dining table by Christmas dinner.

I made these earrings to go with another gift for my dear friend N, whose name I drew in the Christmas gift exchange. The pink beads are known as cherry quartz, which is actually glass and not a gemstone. Along with a milky glass bead and sterling silver wire, I think they turned out pretty fun!
