Beaded hoop earrings handwoven bead-by-bead in dusty turquoise, pear, teal, and fuchsia glass beads. Colorful, lightweight teardrop hoops with subtle texture and movement.

The Design

These beaded hoop earrings are a celebration of color. Semi-glazed dusty turquoise and prickly pear seed beads form the foundation of the palette, layered with frosted rainbow olive tones that add subtle depth to the beadwork. Faceted Czech beads in saturated teal and fuchsia introduce lively accents of color, while silver-plated cube beads provide small flashes of light along the curve of the hoop. The result is a layered color story that feels lively, and balanced.

Craftsmanship

Each earring is carefully handwoven using ultra-strong FireLine thread and 141 tiny seed beads (282 per pair), Czech glass beads and silvertone brass cubes. The beads are stitched one by one along the frame, wrapping the hoop in layered color and texture. Pattern by The Pacific Thread, handwoven by me.
