Long Beaded Copper Earrings retailer

These earrings represent a merging of skills between a long-time friend and beader...and myself. Sherrie Reed from Helena, Montana does beaded earrings that feel like silk when you wear them...they are so sensual. She also has just the right tension on the beaded strands so that they are flexible and complement your every move. She uses colors better than any beader I know and we have always enjoyed our collaborations. I made a few sets of tops and sent them to Sherrie, allowing her to do her magic. This is the first listing of 3 that I'll be listing here on Etsy.
The tops of the earrings are made of copper that has been stamped and accented with a 6mm carnelian cabochon. The beadwork is done with colors that go very nicely with the metal and stone...the beads are a mix of glass, carnelian and metal. No matter how many photos I took, the colors were very difficult to capture, and you can see that lighting changes what one sees.
If you want a one-of-a-kind earring that will make you or the recipient smile, these 4" beauties may be your best opportunity! They dangle from retailer handmade gold-filled wires that have a long tang in the back for balance and I supply a translucent stopper to add a little more insurance.
