"Early Irises" Necklace & Earrings
Like the patch of irises that meets the early days of spring, this necklace bursts with those same fresh colors in purples and greens. The center focal is a wonderful Czech bead,,, a partially faceted large bicone with a silky leaf-green texture. Following are handmade artist lampwork beads mixing purples and greens, then a collage of assorted crystals, lampwork, and pressed glass beads. Rhodium-plated and silver plated caps enclose some of the beads, and each is separated by a tiny purple seed bead. The length is 18", plus a one-inch decorated extension chain. Other lengths are available in the drop-down menu.
The earrings are leafy drops, using beads also found in the necklace. They're 1 1/4" long from the bottom of sturdy, sterling-silver fishhook earwires. If you prefer, you can choose sterling leverbacks.
