It's all thanks to these Star of David charms, on the right, that my sister requested I pierce Rebecca's ears. She picked Becky out for Christmas in 2019. Colleen didn't have me pierce her ears, since most of our historical characters don't wear them. I ordered a pack of charms through Amazon Vine, during the fall of 2024. I got them for free, in exchange for leaving a review. When the pack arrived, I spotted the Star of David charms. As soon as I saw them, I thought of Rebecca, who is a Jewish character. I pointed them out to Colleen and said, "It's a shame she doesn't have pierced ears." Well, that got my sister to thinking...why couldn't Rebecca have pierced ears? She is after all an actress, who wears some very fancy attire. Colleen asked if I'd pierce her ears and make jewelry to go with every outfit she owned. It was fitting too, since we still had not updated all the photos in Rebecca's Flickr album (we changed the backdrop/lighting of all the photos in 2024). It was a fun undertaking. Naturally, I knew the Star of David charms were a no brainer to use. Colleen wanted them for Rebecca's first "meet" outfit, shown on the right. They are quite stunning on their own, so I kept these earrings simple. I added a few black crystals and small gold seed beads. I think these look sleek and classy.

The ones on the left are designed for Rebecca's Beforever "meet" outfit. This is actually the ensemble that came on my sister's doll. The earrings I crafted were initially intended for her Satin Pajamas. But I realized that the purple crystals in the bug charms matched her Beforever "meet" accessory necklace. I've used these bug charms a bunch of times over the years. They are from a deconstructed necklace that belonged to my grandmother. They are super unique, show stopping, but also classy. I added another purple crystal to the top of each earring (these are from Walmart's $1 baggie section).
