I really like Pantones' fall color selections this year as it has a nice mix of soft, neutral and vibrant. Fuschia Fedora and Fire Whirl are both rich vibrant shades where Pale Rosette is a soft velvety pink. I made these post earrings by filling the stainless steel bezels with the fall Pantone colors and gave them a linen-like texture. They are in my online store here. If you are into making your own earrings, I also sell the findings in my DIY supplies section here.

I also created some Earring Charms in matching clay colors. I came up with the earring charm idea several years ago. They are a fun way to add a dangle to any post or stud style earring simply by replacing the backing behind the ear with the charms instead.

I used the small rondelles in the photo below to make the earring charms. I will use the larger ones as accents in my other jewelry pieces. I share my secret tips and tricks on how to make these fun style beads in my tutorial here.
