Merry Merry Christmas earrings

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:35:18 -0500

$33.00
These earrings are made of sterling silver wire and little seed beads that are threaded on...and topped with tiny hematite stars. I first made these earrings in the 90s and sold them through a national catalog, and in stores around the country. They have remained one of my best sellers, a classic, of sorts : ) I was asked to recreate the design as a project for Step by Step Bead Jewelry magazine two years ago. Last year, they were featured on the cover of a special holiday issue of Wire Jewelry Step by Step. And now......
they're here for YOU!!! Hurray!!

*f.y.i. - the wire spiral "tree" with loop at top measures just about 1"...the ear wire adds just a bit more.
The actual pair for sale at this moment, is the center photo with really cute ear wires!
