Earrings, bracelets, necklaces ... I love to make them all. Swarovski crystal beads bring sparkling colors and
visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual
2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead. For warm colors, I like to make
bracelets from the natural beauty of obsidian and jasper beads.

Silver plated dangle earrings with 8mm fire polished Czech glass beads (crystal with green) using silver plated bead caps and silver color button style earrings each with a
peridot Swarovski® crystal.
The numerous faceted sides of the 8mm fire polished Czech glass beads (crystal with green) nicely catches the light adding a touch of sparkle.
The silver plated bell link chain for these earrings came from silver plated dangles such as the silver plated dangles shown below.
As you can see in the photo, I cut off and discarded the top eyepin of the dangle thereby releasing the silver plated bell shape bead cap from the link chains.

Overall length of these dangle earrings, excluding the ear wire: 2.25 inches.
Material list for each silver plated earring:
2- 1.5 inch sterling silver ball ended head pin
2- fire polished Czech glass beads (crystal with green). These Czech glass beads have an infusion of peridot green throughout resulting in unique shading of peridot
within each of the glass beads.
2- silver plated 4mm open jumprings to attach dangle to button style earring
2- silver plated link chains, placing a link of each chain within the jumpring thereby making it look like four link chains are hanging down for each dangle.
2- Silver plated 9x3mm filigree bead cap
1- Button style earring with peridot Swarovski® crystal bead
