For these earrings I used gorgeous blue vintage crackle glass beads, made in West Germany. I think they look like blue ice cubes.

I made a pair of beaded sterling silver links and attached the beads to them using my own handmade balled up wire (ballpins).

Earwires were also made by me and naturally I took great care filing them, so they won't scratch your ears.

All silver was oxidized and tumbled for strength and shine.

Size: approx. 2 inches/5 cm incl. earwires. Beads are 12 mm.

Earrings will be giftwrapped.
