Have you guys ever heard of cairn stones? Maybe you’ve seen stacks of stones while out hiking or walking. The idea of them is from ancient times and were used as a marker, or even as burial, or to hide things. While still used for these purposes, a lot of people view them as being zen like, so you might see them in people’s yards, and even in jewelry designs like these earrings! I love making disc shape beads, but to be honest, they are often one of the harder beads to think of a way to use creatively! Most of the time I would wire wrap them flat so they would lay against the skin, or dangle from an earring. One of my silver suppliers made these cage style beads years ago, and with the pandemic, I haven’t seen her in three years. But I’m finally stocked up with loads of these beads and I think they look amazing with the disc shape beads. See what you think!
