Bling, Bling, Bling!

Just a short little blog for now.  As I flipped through the channels last night and realized that the Emmys was on, I was tempted to watch it, but to do that would be like stabbing my husband, Gene, in the eyes, so I resisted the temptation.  I expected to be able to google Emmy jewelry and would find lots of pictures.  I'm struggling to find what I"m looking for.  I did find one great image of some very blingy earrings that I could recreate or reimagine. ***This is a prime example of how uncool I really am.  These images are from last year's Emmys.  Oddly enough the first image I found from this year is also Sophia Vergara.  Maybe another blog post is in order**** I normally use fish hook wires or leverback earwires instead of posts because of my allergy issues, and it would be much easier to create it anyway.   First I need to find a source for those teardrop emerald stones.  The Sapphire round and the Ruby round will be a breeze.  In fact, I probably already have those in my stash.  If I had any free time today, I'd just get started making them, but since I don't, I'll have to wait until tomorrow.  I'll bet I can find the teardrops to order today.  (that shouldn't take too long, right?)  Maybe my friend Mary who taught me how to bezel a rivoli has some.  Oh, Bezeling a rivoili is stitching beads around one of these round stones.  Then when I get the teardrop shaped stones I'll need to learn how to bezel one of those.  What was your favorite Bling, Bling, Bling?
 Sofia Vergara wore $7 million dollars worth of jewelry to the 2013 Emmys!   Here's a link to the blingyest pair I have listed on my Etsy store.  If you would like a custom made pair of blingy earrings, let me know!  https://www.etsy.com/listing/192703554/sexy-long-dangle-beaded-earrings?ref=shop_home_active_17
