True to life! These mini antique glass beads are rich in different colors, patterns and shapes. The real drama is in the Quartz points I beaded as a fan shape. Delightfully irregular, this is the only pair of earrings just like it. Sensitive ears, rejoice! Raw brass (the metal hoop base) is hypoallergenic. The little synthetic malachite balls at the end keep s the rest on tight. Please give these earrings a home before I keep them.... Thanks for looking, *Pennyroyal*
