When Westwood's Becky's daughter Tiffany's friend came to dinner in a pair of trendy crocheted earrings, she suggested to Tiffany that Becky should try to make some. (Becky had previously crocheted the friend's young daughter a poncho). Becky took up this idea, and Pretty Pairz earrings were born.

A crocheter for over thirty years, Becky knew Melissa and Candy of Westwood's Decor & More through their work doing interior design in her home, and a partnership was made.

"[It takes] about ¾ hour to 1 hour to crochet a pair. Then they have to be starched, dried and I have my other daughter embellish them with stones and pearls and attach the hooks," Becky explains of her process. "It’s been a fun project and keeps my mind sharp. I crochet with thread so it’s very fine and you have to count every stitch!"
