✿ Copyright: Especially pertaining to Orchid and Opal original jewelry designs, please do NOT reproduce, or copy video content, or written instructions, in any format, without my consent. You may email me to inquire about discounted pricing for written patterns used in group instruction.

✿ Credit: Artists spend countless hours on their designs from concept to completion. I have the utmost respect for other artists, and the time/energy behind their original designs. I will always make a point to give credit where credit is due because I expect the same in return. Of course, in some rare circumstances, artists' beading designs may overlap in certain ways; after all, there are only so many combinations in which beads may be put together. It's possible for artists to simply “be on the same wavelength.” "Great minds think alike," and all that. :)

✿ Please note: Orchid and Opal is a one-woman show. I (Gina) happily work full-time creating new designs, finished pieces, written patterns, and video content. However, there's so much more work that goes unseen. I state this to let you know (1) how passionate I am about what I do, and (2) as a fellow human, I make mistakes, and do the best I can while also trying to maintain a work-life balance. I always strive to thoroughly research topics, educate myself, and present you with the most accurate content, to the very best of my ability. Thanks for joining me on this creative journey!

First tutorial about open folded earrings that I could follow and understand. Thank you, great job.

[leilakirkham]

You are so clear and concise, fab clear photography too, thank you x

[Roseyfinchartworks]

I just made these earrings with Toho seed beads size 11/0 and they are gorgeous!! They look and feel so luxury! Thank you for the tutorial, I will definitely make another pair!

[gretchencollin]

You are so great at your tutorial, so clear on what you are saying and designing. I have just started doing beading and have now completed a set of earrings and a ring. Having so much fun!!!! Thank you Gina!

[louisejeffries]

I’ve look at a few patterns for these This is the 1st one with helpful instructions and as a new beader the 1st I think I can manage. Thank you

[lynneabennett]

just finished my first pair of these and can't wait to turn them into earrings and take photos. It took a few tries for my brain to decide to follow the video, and then I had to make dinner for my family so I got lost again, but in the end these will be my favorite earrings to wear for sure! I am already thinking of how to add drops to them from my huge bead stash. I used Japanese seed beads which tend to be more precisely made than just regular seed beads for my first pair to "save" my delica beads for after I worked thru the design. Thank you!

[gaylaantoine]
