Etched Jet Romantic, kind of Goth Earrings

Fantastic darkly elegant holiday earrings! These lightweight vintage-look teardrop acrylic beads have the look of black lace when lit. They seem to have been painted black and then etched for almost an etched crystal look. They have a fantastic kind of depth to them that these photos just don't represent properly (one of the challenges of photographing jewelry).

They hang from sterling lever back ear wires, with twisted silver holding in place jet Czech glass flowers, with small 3mm clear AB Swarovski bicone crystals above and below. From there, the teardrop beads hang from more silver wire, and are stabilized by some lovely headpins. These headpins are sterling, but at the bottom, instead of being flat or having a silver ball end, they have a tiny, faceted jet crystal held in place with prongs. You can kind of see that in some of the photos, but we don't have any that truly focus on them. They are subtle, but a nice touch. The earrings are 2 5/8" long, in total, including the ear wires. Would be fabulously appropriate for holiday evenings out.

Your jewelry will arrive in a glossy black box with an Adorn Me jewelry label outside and a folded burgundy-colored note inside, written in silver metallic ink on nice card stock. If your purchase is a gift for someone, you can send us a message at Etsy and tell us what you would like hand-written on the card. This is then boxed and wrapped up in a sparkly silver ribbon, all ready for gift-giving! If you prefer we can leave the ribbon untied, so you can peek inside to see the gift you're giving and then tie the ribbon yourself, just include that in your message. :)

You can see larger photos of, and read more about, these earrings by going to Adorn Me jewelry's store at Etsy.

An Eclectic Mix

These earrings are an eclectic mix of colors, textures and styles, but they work. Starting in the middle are fantastic Czech glass beads with great colors and glow. Working the way out are little coppery tulip flower beads, then AB Tanzanite Swarovskis, and finished off with dark gray Swarovski pearls. They were hand made by James with copper findings and hand-made rosey copper ear wires. They are 2" long, from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the beaded headpin.

I think because of the mix of colors and styles these earrings truly can dress up or down -- jeans or velvet, or jeans and velvet!

This Eclectic Mix of beauty sells for $16.50, plus a reasonable shipping fee. They can be purchased by using the contact form at www.adornmejewelry.net.

Fountainhead

These earrings, designed and crafted by James, are a wonderful mix of shape and texture, while remaining in the green family.

At the top are little mint julep fire-polished Czech glass beads, which blend into light greenCzech glass bell flowers. They sit atop inverted soft green Czech glass flower caps. Beneath are lovely teal 8mm swarovski bicone crystals, cradled by inverted deep turquoise Picasso Czech glass three-petal lilies. The photos don't really show the lovely reddish rust markings these beads have. At the bottom are 4mm Peridot swarovski crystals. All of this is held together by brass findings. The ear wire are brass lever backs.

These lovelies are just over 2 " long, including the ear wire, and they sell for $14.50, plus a reasonable shipping fee. They can be purchased by using the contact form at www.adornmejewelry.net.

Aqua Blitz

These earrings are an blitz of aquas and greens, designed and hand-crafted by James. They are an eclectic mix of different shapes and variety of beads, strung on copper wire and dangling from rosy copper handmade ear wires.

At the top are oval blue malachite stones, unusual and lovely. Supporting the blue malachite are soft green Czech glass flower caps, above Mint Alabaster swarovski bicone crystals. Below are turquoise rondelles, with a bit of matrix in them; the earrings are finished off with blue Crazy Lace Agate rondelles.
