Swarovski Crystal Butterfly Chandelier Earrings
This pretty earring project was kindly supplied by Suzy Richards of Gladrags Jewellery
In addition to the pink combination used here, it also works well in other colour combinations such as Crystal Copper Butterflys and crystals in Topaz and Light Colorado Topaz or why not try it in soft blues with Aquamarine butterflys and crystals in Light Azure and Pacific Opal….or keep it simple and go for super sparkly Crystal AB butterflys and crystals…
