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.

These silver earrings are made up from pieces of a favorite bracelet of mine. I wore the bracelet for years, then it got broken. I held onto it, hoping to find someone who could fix the broken piece, never did and so I snipped the jumprings that were between the shamrock pieces and made these earrings.

I added a Czech Republic (clear with blue shading) glass bead to the bottom of each of the shamrock pieces.

Overall length of these dangle earrings, excluding the ear wire: 1 inches.

Material list for each silver earring:

1- shamrock piece

1- 1.5 inch sterling silver ball ended head pin

1- 4mm clear glass with infusion of blue Czech Republic glass bead

1- silver plated earwire
