Swiss, London blue topaz Sapphire wire wrapped chandelier Earrings

Description

These Swiss, London blue topaz Sapphire wire wrapped chandelier Earrings are 2.5inches from top of ear wire.
I forged frame by hands and wrapped a hair thin wire onto it. Then I added swiss and london blue topaz and topped them with multi sapphire roundells. I oxidized the earrings to dark black and didn't polish to give matte finish.
Dark matte black finish really makes the stones pop and result is a stunning pair of chandelier earrings.
I love this design and is one of my best sellers and is my signature piece.
Making these really truly unbelievably hurts my fingers but, they are just gorgeous.
