Luscious Smoky Quartz Earrings

Description

These smoky quartz beads are some of the most beautifully faceted stones that I have ever seen. These plump roundels are a lovely transparent cocoa brown and they are truly incredible to see. I have hand wrapped them in a simple design and hung them from 14k gold-filled French ear wires. The drop from the loop of the ear wire to the bottom of the decorative coil is just shy of 7/8 inch (21mm) and the bead is 1/2 inch (12.5mm).
In the last photo is an extreme close up of a bead still on the strand, which shows more of the faceting detail.
Hope you have fun taking these for a swing!
