At the top of the earring is a antique silver flower pendant. Two beads dangle below the flower pendant. The top bead, sitting in a gunmetal bead cap, is a Czech faceted, fire-polished, opaque jet black glass bead. The bottom bead, covered with three gunmetal bead caps, is a natural red turquoise gemstone. This beautiful red gemstone has black veins running throughout the bead. Quite lovely!

These earrings measure 2 inches from the top of the earring wires.

Fire polished beads are glass beads that are machine made, usually cut to many facets, and then polished over an open fire. This process creates imperfections, which are a part of their charm. The polishing process gives them brilliance as more light is reflected off the glass. Czech beads are high quality beads that will not lose their color over time. The Czech beads in this earring come from the Czech Republic where the craft began. Fire polished beads contain no lead and will give your jewelry a softer and less sharp appearance.
