These earrings make me think of Harvard pre-rain storm! They feature dark red faceted Jade rondelle beads which have been wire wrapped with oxidized sterling silver wire. On each earring four clear Rock Crystal beads that have been spiral wrapped dangle from the ends. The sterling silver wire has been purposefully blackened or oxidized. Cool, right? Overall length is 1-3/4 inches from the top of the of the handmade earwires.
