Teal Trendsetters



I've always loved all shades of teal, and with these earrings I've captured my most favorite shade-- dark, deep, and mysterious.

15mm lamp work glass coin/lentil shaped foiled beads encased top and bottom with scalloped copper bead caps that I've custom formed to fit the shape of the glass, 3mm round copper beads, and the best of the best in fresh, clear 4mm bicone crystal beads-- Swarovski crystal. All this lusciousness is hand wrapped on ball tipped head pins and suspended from handcrafted 20g copper ear wires which have been carefully filed smooth on the ends for comfortable insertion and wear. Ear wires measure approx. 1/2 inch, total length of earrings is right at 1 1/2 inches, a perfect length for most preferences.

I can visualize these earrings being worn both casually with denim, and with those famously sparkly Swarovskis they can also easily be dressed up with many of today's trendy styles. They are just feminine enough to even go with many vintage fashions as well. Soooo versatile!

**Please note that I will happily substitute the current ear wires for others of different material if you prefer a different look or are concerned with allergy issues. I have hypoallergenic (silver colored, free of charge), or I can oxidize (darken) either silver filled ($1 more) or even solid sterling silver ear wires to better match the copper for a mere $3 more. Just be sure to make a note of it when you contact me to purchase. :)
