Gabriella Earrings


I used vintage West German  round drops along with vintage Swarovski dangles and beads in Vitrial Medium, plus Gold-filled 20 gauge wire, oval jump rings, and French earwires.  The hardest part was making the 2 wire armatures match.

I wanted them to be mirror image - but they turned out to be "folded" the same way - left to right. I thought I could turn one over, but no, it's one of those magic items that is the same on both sides. Oh well, no one will be able to tell when I'm wearing them! 

They remind me of Flamenco dancers, so I named them "Gabriella".

I love vitrail beads. The shape of these is elegant and your design well executed. Lovely!
