Tornado Earrings with Labradorite and Sterling Silver

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:15:49 -0500

$65.00
Like a tornado, the wire twist and turn around these large hoop ear wires and have picked up a few labradorite beads on the way! They have been called "sophisticated and wild at the same time", which is a wonderful description. Another comment is that they "would be great with that favorite T-shirt and jeans" - I agree! As the final touch, a cluster of flashy blue grey labradorite rondells and step cut twisted labradorite briolettes dangle at the bottom.
