Gothic passion

Description

I’ve always been fascinated by the Gothic style and these earrings have been highly influenced by it.
I first shaped and hammered the silver wire, then coiled it with fine sterling silver wire and enriched the frame with beautiful faceted Karen silver beads, with a very small flower pattern, and black faceted Swarovski crystal beads which add a lot of sparkles!
The central part is composed of compressed silver wire, then oxidised, and adorned with a flashy blue fire gemmy AA labradorite faceted onion cut teardrop briolette with magnificent blue/grey shades. Beneath swings an AAA onyx faceted long tear briolette, perfectly faceted and sparkly ( it measures 30x5mm).
These earrings are truly elegant and charming and perfect for any occasion.
They’re 2.95 inches (7.5 cm) long – from the bottom of the silver handmade ear wires. Extremely lightweight.
