About this design:
I fell in love with these lotus beads and knew they would make stunning earrings. I have been trying to learn some new techniques and have been practicing this herringbone wire wrap and I think it goes beautifully with the lotus beads.
Components:
Antique silver finish blooming lotus beads, Blue Calsilica Jasper, kidney ear-wires, 24g wire.Read the comments (or add your own)

A Wandering Gypsy Co says:Thank you all so much! The herringbone wrap is actually easier than it looks! I watched a YouTube tutorial and just kept practicing! I love these lotus beads so much I’m glad I purchased all that was left!

Maggies Mom says:Wow, these are gorgeous! Beautifully done wrap, too!

Little Round Chick says:These ear rings are a great color and the design is outstanding. Love the herringbone wrap. It was a smart move to buy all of the lotus beads. Nothing quite so irritating as buying some and have the others sold before you can get back to them when you should have bought them all in the first place.
