If I were to tell you how hard it is to make these mismatched stone bead earrings, you wouldn't believe me. Fortunately for you, I'm detailing the incredibly difficult and long instructions and materials list below. It's really just very complicated, so this may not be a DIY for the faint of heart. 
For the earrings, you'll need 2 stone beads/pendants (preferably mismatched, but if that's too much for you, by all means, match. Also, I couldn't find the exact ones I got, but these would be fun) + hoops. Loop the stones through the hoop, and you're done. Bonus cool points if you wear multiple mismatched ones at the same time.

One of my favorite things to do lately is finding vintage gems (literally). The search terms "vintage" and "jewelry" on Etsy yield a plethora of fun and unique items from various time periods. As a part of my larger, overall goal of slowly consolidating my closet and buying less (and thus owning and wasting less) combined with my want to buy more from smaller businesses, I've been using Etsy a lot more. Adding a touch of vintage often means one-of-a-kind pieces that have been pre-owned, which keeps in line with my longer term goals while still allowing a space for uniqueness and creativity. Below are some of my favorite Etsy stores to buy vintage jewelry from:

Providence Vintage Jewelry
Reasonably priced, tons of options, and an entire vintage Oscar de la Renta section.



Top Atomic
An eclectic mix of both vintage and modern items priced very affordably.



Recollect Jewelry
A bit more on the splurgy side, but an incredibly unique selection.



Cellar Deals
A bunch of different vintage style to look through at a reasonable price point



Vintique Gems Shop
Another one more on the splurgy side with a very colorful and trendy collection
