These Tiny Lavender Glass Bead Teardrop Earrings are individually sculpted by Pelindaba Artisan Andrea Kiernan. Each glass bead is individually sculpted using colored glass rods and a torch fueled by oxygen and propane. After the bead is sculpted, it is properly annealed or set to cool slowly overnight in a digitally controlled kiln to ensure strength and durability.
Finally, the lampwork beads are transformed into wearable pieces of art glass when they are strung with sterling silver wire, findings and coordinating Austrian Swarovski crystals set inside a sterling silver teardrop shaped frame. The earrings are approximately 3cm in length by 2cm in width and dangle from sterling silver post earrings. Sold as a pair. Each piece arrives packaged in a protective purple gift box filled with fragrant organic lavender buds.
These are the cutest earrings I have ever seen. They are light weight and just sweet. I have shared the site with many friends and I will bet there will be some extra sales from my neck of the woods!
