In Bloom earrings - red vintage glass and oxidized sterling silver

Description

. d e s i g n .

A bright, vintage-glass cherry blossom peers brightly from just below the earlobe, perched upon darkly patinated sterling silver wire. The vintage glass bead is West German, probably from the 1950s or 1960s.

I heat-forged, shaped, and hammered the sterling silver into a special design that holds the bead then turns into an earhook. The wire has a dark patina to contrast the brilliant red-pink of the flower. Unbelievably cute and sweet little earrings!

These are just little guys--from the top of the earhook to the bottom petal of the flower, the length is almost 1 inch, or 25mm.
The flower is 11mm in diameter.
The earwire is 18 gauge, which is just slightly thicker than average.

(See this listing for a photo that shows scale pretty well: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18758440 )

I have vintage glass flowers in many other colors, and can leave the silver natural if you prefer. Just send me a convo if there is a variation you are interested in!
