Big Business Beads

Remember when you were 11 and decided you were going to make a living off of bead jewelry? You had the knack, expertise, and dedication to string those beads into one of a kind bracelets and anklets. How is that going for you? Yeah, me too. Luckily there are some people who did commit to this artistry and we can all benefit. Here are some truly lovely beaded earrings.

The Outnet, Silver Tone Bead Earrings, $45

These beauties are 50% off right now and they will make your white dress pop and then make your navy blazer a bit more playful this fall.

Anthropologie, Jima Hoops, $98

I really love the mix of colors in this earring. That blue really stands out.

Gilt, Teardrop Earrings by Cara Couture, $20

I love Gilt for jewelry. Its a great place to find gifts because the designers are not what you find in your everyday department store.

Lord & Taylor, Beaded Chandelier Earrings, $19

How about these swingy earrings? They also come in white/gold.

So we didn't make it big with friendship bracelets or bead jewelry, but we can still enjoy the detailed perfection with these beaded earrings.

Be fabulous today!

Bead Keeper

Well hey there lovebugs! How are you today? It's Monday which is a major bummer but let's talk fashion, it's bound to make you feel better.

Today we are looking at some beautiful beaded necklaces. Baubles and bling are great but sometimes it's better to go back to basics.

Bloomingdale's, RJ Graziano Multi Strand Beaded Necklace, $75

Do I think this is overpriced? A little. Do I think the cost per wear will blow your mind? Absolutely. Look at it. LBD, tshirt, vneck, crewneck, denim jacket, black tie. I mean, hello.
