These beautiful, bright earrings can make any day a special one ~ They're the kind of earring that are great on everyone, from teenagers (my 15 year-old Lucy rocks them!) to 105 -- seriously. The sort of accessory that brings out your inner shine, they'd be a beautiful gift for anyone you love -- including yourself! With vintage Japanese glass teardrop beads and vintage pearly beads accented with ruby-red Japanese Miracle Beads* & etched silver rings, this style combines old & new to make a contemporary, chic, absolutely fabulous pair of earrings that will transcend trends and keep you fashion forward for many years to come.
At the base of the earrings are bright, shiny vintage crimson Japanese glass teardrop beads (17mm long), topped with etched silver rings, which cradle 8mm vintage hollow beads of the very softest pink (almost off-white) -- These came from a necklace from the 1940s-50s, and are synthetic. They're pearlescent and sooo pretty, and they ensure that these are anything but run-of-the mill earrings! Atop these are super-luminous 4mm "miracle" glass beads (also known as "mirror glass"),* shimmering and shining, a most incredible red. The earrings are finished with tiny (1.5mm) sterling silver balls.
The earrings 1-1/4" bead-to-bead. They hang 2" from sterlig silver French wires with ball accents.**
Your earrings will be accompanied by a handmade card that describes the beads & ear wires. Gift wrapping is free upon request. ~> I like to send a pretty package, but I also like to use eco-friendly and recycled materials whenever possible. If you'd like reduced/recycled packaging, please let me know.<<
The colors shown vary from photo to photo, in part because some pics are taken inside, while others were taken in my yard. I've adjusted the color in each photo to be as true as possible. >>>These earrings are also available in a deeper shade of red; I also have the TEARDROP BEADS in GUNMETAL and BLACK, and I'd be very happy to make something special for you. Please convo me if you have questions.<<<
*Japanese miracle beads start out as modest lucite beads, then the "miraculous" properties of these beads begin. The lucite core is coated with a colored silver plating -- in this case, white, though they're made in every color you can imagine. The bead is then covered in multiple layers of super-shiny clear lacquer. As you look at the bead, you'll see light and color being reflected back through the lacquer -- They're like little metallic mirrors, in fact. They're called "miracle beads" because of the illusion of depth created by the layering process & metallic plating; in a way, it looks as if there is a shiny bead inside a clear bead.
