I am so excited about these earrings! They are the first pair of ‘repli-Kate" (Kate Middleton) earrings I have made. I've made a few dresses in the past and even bought earrings, but these are the first I've made. The Duchesses has been touring British Columbia, Canada the last few days and I fell in love with her outfit in Bella Bella, British Canada; from the boots to her awesome double kite earrings. I knew it would be difficult to find something similar to them so I figured that I could try to make my own pair.
I bought brass metal and cut two of the two sizes of diamonds. Next, I used a metal hole jewelry punch and punched the holes for the hooks. After I filed the edges smooth, I hammered the earrings to complete the look before attaching them to gold plated earring hooks. I love how light they are and the little jingle they make when you wear them. I can't wait to make more repli-Kate earrings!
