Seems like I'm the first to post a pair of earrings These were made using a brick stitch fans technique tutorial I found on DA.



Materials used: two Swarovski 6 mm rounds and 4 mm bicones in olivine, as well as 11/0 seed beads in light topaz, dark gold and copper lined gray, nylon thread and copper coloured earring hooks.

Comments welcomed

Those are fabulous earrings!!!! I love love the design!!

Nice! I love how they use crystals and leave a lot of open space; which makes them very original and different than the tutorial, if I'm thinking of the same one.
That's a lovely color green, too : )

Thank you both! They're sparkly and elegant.

The tutorial is the one by Ellygator, it's very easy to understand. Using the bicones made them more "aerial" and translucent, which is maybe opposite to the brick stitch concept, but the effect is nice.

This olivine tone is probably my favourite from Swarovski range of greens

Very nice...great earrings and I love the design

Thank you! The tutorial is so easy to follow that I'm working on a bracelet for myself now using it.

Oh, I love the earrings but can't find the pattern in ellygators DA account. Do you have the link to it?
