3. Earth-Colored Bracelets 
Flatter your wrists with charming bracelets in earth tone colors. Choose assorted beads that are well put together. You can also match them with dangling earrings. 

4. Fabric Headbands
They're light and stylish, and when you're done using it as a headband, you can use it to tie  your long locks into a pony tail. 

5. Tie Dye Scarves 
Use them as head scarves. Depending on the length, they make great cover ups. 

These scarves were hand dyed by Paul Estevanez.

6. Long Necklaces 
We love long necklaces. For us, they represent spontaneity. Depending on the materials used, they capture the essence of ideas such as 'BOHO' and 'EARTH GODDESS' perfectly. They're also use to pass off a gypsy look.

Lady Heather Chandeliers

Chandelier earrings are the most popular type of earrings due to its glamorous and sophisticated effect. The simple  use of bold chandeliers can definitely  make a difference to your outfit. 

For this collection we used crystals with bead caps and seed beads as spacers. Instead of using typical chandelier findings to attach the beads to, we employed the use of head and eye pins to form the framework of the earrings. The use of crystals are the best material of choice in making chandeliers because of its incandescent quality.

Tips into Practice

We dedicated write-ups on the basics of wearing earrings with a follow up post on what type of earrings suit your face shape. We collected some basic outfits to show you how you can you use earrings to pump up your get up. 

1) Diamond Face Shape: Wear earrings that will soften the pointed structure of your chin. Stay away from angular shaped earrings and steer towards earrings with soft curves. Choose clothing with round necks, and as much as possible, stay away from v-neck shaped necklines. 

 

2) Long or Oblong Face Shape: Stud and hoop earrings are the most recommendable type to wear for long faced shapes. You can still wear dangling earrings as long as the design gives volume to your face rather than elongating it. Remember that the neckline of your top or dress can highlight or balance your facial structure. 

3) Round Shaped Face: The best choice for you  is to wear long and angular earrings that will give a dramatic contrast to the roundness of your face. Choose outfits with necklines that will balance the shape of your face such as V-necks. 

4) Square Shaped Face: This kind of face shape is mostly associated to masculinity, thus it is imperative that you wear earrings to soften your facial angles, most especially the jawline. Choose earrings with soft curves and keep clothes with round necklines. 

5) Oval Shaped Face: You are in luck. Take advantage of having this face shape, and experiment with different types of earrings. Any type of neckline will suit you.
