Do the earrings match? PIP

Hi- I would really appreciate your advice! I've made the necklaces, which I love, for my bridesmaids and I've been trying to come up with earrings that I like to match. What do you think of these earrings, do they work with the necklace?

There are two pictures because I didn't know if they would look different with different backgrounds. The main beads are an eggplant color.

TIA!

    I like them!  I love the necklaces too :)

    Do all of your BMs like dangly earrings?  That'd be my only concern (only because I know one of mine never wears earrings like that, but most girls do.)

    Nice work!

    I think they look great!  Just curious, where did you get the stuff to make them from?

    I got all of the stuff at a store called Rainbow Beads in Woodbury, however, sadly, they went out of business last month. I do know they have similar stuff at Bead Monkey, but it's really expensive (like 17 cents/swarovski) which is why I got it at Rainbow Beads (9 cents/swarovski). I'm sure there are tons of other places around the cities that have them though!

    And thanks for the compliments from both of you!

    Love them! And I think the earrings compliment the necklace really well!

    I think they look great together.  I like how you got the necklace to be a single thick cord, a really nice statement.

    Another good place for beads, if you want to go online, is Fire Mountain Gems.  They do bulk pricing and you can buy single colors by the dozen or multiples of a dozen.  Their delivery is pretty quick, too, even if you go the cheap route.  For around here, I usually stick with Bobby Bead.  Bead Monkey (Edina location) is great, but they're so expensive, and the people who worked at the SP one used to be kind of mean.  I'm also going to be making my bridesmaids' jewelry just as soon as we figure out our colors.
