Lately I've been looking at a lot of glamorous, over-the-top earrings, and I think it's been a big influence on what I'm making. The silver beads are so bright that they kept throwing off my camera meter! 🫤

- The large metal beads are made of German silver, and have been electroplated with a thick layer of sterling silver.  My vendor assures me that they are 30% sterling silver

- All other metal components are sterling silver

- Black onyx teardrops have a smooth finish

- Bali style bead caps.

Black onyx is a "shoring up" gemstone -- it protects from negative energies and sharpens the intellect. It fosters self-confidence and helps with using energies wisely.

Pearls are stress relievers, and connectors to the inner self and the spiritual realm.
