I just love the colors, contrasts, and textures of these earrings. The lampwork glass beads are a base of purple and they have been "etched" (a process that turns the shiny glass into a matte finish) to look like weathered stone. I used Swarovski Crystals in the metallic gold color which look like Pyrite gemstone. They brought out the colors of the swirls on the lampwork beads and give a neat contrast to the matte finish of the glass. Designed with all copper including my own handmade textured charms.
These measure about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches long. The copper textured charms measure 1/2" or 12mm.
