The TierraCast Western Winds collection is filled with beautiful pieces inspired by the Southwest. These earrings feature the Thunderbird charm from the collection. Thunderbirds often represent power and strength in Native American cultures. When paired with gemstones, they make an even more powerful statement. You can see more jewelry made with the Western Winds collection in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Choose the gemstone pendant you want to use for your earrings. We do not carry the pendants TierraCast used in this example, but we have similar options listed in our Perfect Product Pairings below. Then, use 24 gauge Silver Artbeads Designer Wire to make a wrapped loop at the top of the pendant.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
