Melissa's Earrings


Recently I needed a large Siam Swarovski rivoli and couldn't find one larger than 14mm. 
My friend Melissa Ingram had a vintage one and generously let me have it. 

When I received the post inside was - 
A hank of antique English bugle beads called Carnival. 
A vintage Celluloid Cameo, 
2 Swarovski 'rockets' or Art. 4866 14mm in Bermuda Blue (which they don;t make anymore) 
a vintage Swarovski triangle in Siam, 
as well as the large Siam rivoli. 

"A goody bag for my beading buddy" she said.......... Ask me if I was jumping for joy ! 

The picture above is a pair of earrings I made out of the Swarovski 'rockets' as a thank you for her kindness. All I need now is the jump ring and ear stud, which I need to try and find in my stash !!
The picture below shows you the side view of the Swarovski 'rockets'. 

So thank you Melissa, enjoy.
