This Open Mesh jewelry set consist of matching earrings and pendant – with touches of frivolous, petite crystal flowers and leafy dangles of coloured fruits.
(This set was created under my previous label, "ClearlyChose" which has now been replayed by "ClearlyHelena")

Some Construction Details
This matching pair of earrings features a cone shaped structure for the feminine, modern girl about town.
Once again here I am playing around with basic RAW (Right Angle Weave) beading using bugles and having a go at simple 3D structures.
This set of open mesh earrings were beaded using standard beading thread. Then they were further strengthened by weaving through again and at the same time, adding the Topaz AB seed beads.
The wire guard for the earwire is worked in at this “filling” stage.
Tip: with a bit of careful pre-planning, it could have been done in the first round as well as in the secondary “filling” round.
The end tips are also joined together on this second pass-through, producing the 3D cone structure.
Another Example: Wooden Square RAW Pendant (CC0097)
Here are some pictures of another pendant using similar technique described above for the open mesh RAW pendant.
