These perfect little hoop earrings are crafted with wire and faceted blue opal beads.
The frame is crafted from sterling wire, hammered and tumbled for hardness and shine. I then wire-wrap the little beads with silver wire and attach to sterling leverback earwires.
 
Lots of movement and sparkle with these.

They dangle down a little over 1 1/4" from the earwires.
 
All jewelry on my site is created by me in my Napa Valley home studio, with Buster the corgi by my side (or under my feet).

Natural gemstones should be treated with love and care. 
Remember that silver tends to tarnish when exposed to chemicals (think hairspray, chlorine, etc) or moisture. Store away from the air when not wearing.
