Custom Earrings for Anna...

A couple pair of earrings I made up to match a special bracelet and necklace for a customer. The large white freshwater pearls match a bracelet I posted awhile back. The beads below  are actually made from a dark topaz and then fully engulfed in silver leaf. The  next layer is a glass frit which is then encased in clear, which makes the frit spread to the edges, resulting in the bead below. This pair also has a clear Austrian crystal.
