Long Purple and Pearl Rhinestone Earrings

This is a second, updated version of Long purple and pearl rhinestone earrings, with same materials but slightly different work process. I remember when I got these vintage glass drops in deep purple, they were wrapped in tissue paper with "Made in Japan" labels still attached!

Dark Red Jewelry in Vintage Style

Here's a photo of dark red jewelry in vintage style. Can you spot dark red rhinestone necklace and dark red brooch in flower shape?

Despite the dark color these items will reflect the light and sometimes capture it within the rhinestones that give a red glow. Take a look at dark red jewelry in vintage style at mdmButiik shop.

Work in Progress

Here are some photos of the work progress with dark red jewelry components. Usually the process starts with choosing the colors and materials and then moves on to trying out different motifs and how they work together. Here are the main motifs that will be combined into jewelry.

Deep Dark Red

I haven't shared here the deep color components: beads, rhinestones and cabochons. I made jewelry with these that were inspired by antique Bohemian garnet jewelry. The materials here are not garnet but glass and crystal glass, new and vintage.

Old "English cut" glass beads from Czechoslovakia, Austrian and Czech crystal glass rhinestones... Inspiring isn't it? Photographing these is quite tricky, and the real color is a bit darker than on photos.
