C Spiller says:I’m NOT a jewelry maker, I’m a Christmas tree skirt maker, but I’m an earring-wearer, and I love the colors and design of these earrings. So needs must, and I’ll be a jewelry maker for a day and see if I can make these. They are lovely.

Nicky F says:I love the “Moroccan Twilight Earrings”, but please could you tell me what bead caps you used? They didn’t seem to have made it into the list. Thanks for all the inspiration

Elaina at Lima says:Nicky F- The bead caps I used are the TierraCast Antique Gold (plated) Beaded Bead Cap 5mm (product ID 7111). It looks like they were removed from the list because they are now out of stock. They should be restocked within a couple of weeks though. The TierraCast Antique Gold (plated) Tiffany Bead Cap 5mm (ID 7114) is the same size & should also work.

bunnygal says:I am inspired by these earrings! I don’t think I would have ever come up with this combination on my own. I might do a different combination of colors though. Question: I do not see the “Crystal Faceted Rondelle 2mm” listed, that you used. And I am looking for something that small for another idea of mine? Any ideas? Even different colors?

FelineFriend says:Beautiful design and I have one question: is there a trick to getting the large hole bead to not slide around from side to side because the hole is much larger than the headpin? Once I get this figured out I will be very happy with this design! I am just a beginner….Thank you.

Stingray says:FelineFriend,
One way to keep the large-holed bead from shifting is to wedge it snugly by finishing the headpin with a wrapped-loop.
Another way is to string some seedbeads to ‘fill’ the gap.
