now 25 percent OFF - Indigo Pizzazz Earrings - Midnight blue Murano style Glass and Metal Bead Earrings

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:18:50 -0500

$6.75
These earrings are just “gorgeous simplicity”! Only 2 different kinds of beads here, but they work together wonderfully.

The earrings drop 1 1/8 inch from Sterling Silver french hook ear wires.

The middle glass bead is made in the Murano glass style. It captures any light around and just seems to glow from its center. The other beads are metal corrugated beads of varying sizes.

It was hard to capture the depth of color in these earrings, because every time I used the flash, they literally came alive with light. So the darker picture is without a flash, so that you can see the beautiful midnight blue color of these beads.

They are certainly a bead that could go from daytime wear to an evening out with no problem at all.

Be sure to check the store policies for shipping information.

This necklace is a sensory delight, with the coolness of the stone and the subtle shades of brown in the beads.

The circle pendant is made of green stone, and hangs from a strand of recycled mottled brown pieces - most probably - of salwag. Salwag beads are carved from the nut of the Salwag palm tree and are, by nature, very light weight.

The strand is strung on nylon beading thread and is finished off with a gold plated hook and ring closure. It measures 32 3/4 inches including the closure without the medallion. With the medallion in place it measures 29 inches.

The necklace is just perfect for the autumn season, and will make a beautiful addition to your jewelry wardrobe.
