Happy Accidents...an artists joy!

As artists, often we have *happy accidents* when making something and these sweet copper and Czech glass beads are one of them! Originally, I started out making a simple pair of wire earrings but they did not turn out as they were intended. So, instead of giving up on the original results, I decided to embellish them with my hammer (and maybe take out my frustrations a bit too!) I like the organic look that the copper took on with just a few taps of my chasing hammer! Hence, another *happy accident*!

The Organic Olives earrings are made with natural copper wire, not a coated craft wire. Because there is not a sealer on the metal, their patina will change over time to an even darker, antiqued finish. They are 2 1/4 of an inch in length; the dangles are 1-1/2 inches long, swinging from handmade copper earwires. The olivine Czech glass bead are faceted, and coordinate oh so well with the copper wire!

Thank you for looking!

(¸.•´ (¸.•`¤~♥ Belle Cher - Elegant Copper Wire Wrapped Earrings

Teardrop shaped copper frames that are wrapped in fine copper wire make a sturdy base for the elegant earrings! They are adorned with twisting vines of wrapped copper and gorgeous aquamarine celsian Czech glass briolettes, which repeat the shape of the frame! These crystal brios have gorgeous colors: aqua, a soft moss green and they have an AB coating that picks up the color of the copper wire and the colors around them! All of these combine together to make a beautiful pair of earrings!

The Belle Cher earrings are an attention grabbing length of 2-1/4 inches; the dangles are 1-3/4 of an inch long. They will be sent to you on a display card enclosed in a lovely silk bag with a zipper closure a perfect bag for safely storing your new earrings or for gift presentation!

Custom Order for Angela!!!!

Cool mint green faceted Czech beads with a silver coating on one side looks so awesome with the sterling silver boxes in these two special order items! Recently, I had made a pair of earrings with these same beads for my friend Angela. She loved the earrings so much, that she went and bought more of the "boxes" for a bracelet! After completing the bracelet I had one box left and used some of the left over beads to make a matching pendant!

I love how they all turned out, and so did Angela!

Thank you for looking!
