Violet Necklace and Earrings Set

This violet necklace and earring set is perfect for spring. Both the earrings and the necklace are quite simple to make. This set is perfect for the beginning jewelry maker. You only need a few basic jewelry making skills like opening jump rings and forming a loop.

Lately my kids have been asking "what's your favorite color?, what's your second favorite color?" For me that's green, then purple. So when I got these purple connector beads from Prima Bead in my March package I was thrilled.
