Pair-Amour Earrings

Apr 18, 2011 by Heather

I’ve been hard at work the past couple of months creating new jewelry designs in an effort to flesh out the inaugural Build Love Lego-inspired jewelry collection! I thought I’d share my latest creation with you!
Ta da! I’ve decided to call them Pair-Amour – a loving pair to brighten up your dainty ears.
It may not be all that readily apparent, but yes, those are indeed Legos. They’re translucent 1×1 cone pieces, between three elegant silver beads of varying sizes. These earrings will be available in a variety of colors, with pictures coming soon.
At the moment, I plan to make them available in translucent purple, blue, red, and green, as well as opaque pink, blue, white, yellow, and lime green. But of course, more colors will be upcoming, including any specific colors that someone might want to special order.

Of course, like all other Build Love creations, these were handmade by me. These initial prototypes were a gift for a friend of mine, but I’ll be making more soon! There will be one important change in the final design – the style of the earring hook will be slightly different. This style of hook was a last minute option to get the earrings done in time for an event my friend was going to. Sadly that meant I had to use what I had on hand to get them done ASAP. I don’t think they look quite polished or professional enough, and as you can see in the pictures, one of the hooks is slightly discolored. Not good! Once I’m able to find a hook closer to what I have in mind, I’ll take more photos and post them here.
Please keep in mind, if someone out there wants to special order a pair of these earrings, I’d be more than happy to make them using just about any style hook or clasp their heart desires!

I have lots of other design ideas in the works, so please keep checking back to find out what else is on the way from Build Love Jewelry!
