Pearl Spring Earrings

Handcrafted out of vintage wires and freshwater pearls to create a modern design with a vintage feel. A hairpin component is woven together using my favorite weaving technique. At the base of the earring, a jump ring holds three pearls to create a dangle with movement. Measures 2 1/4'' long. French wires. Liver of Sulfur is used to create an antique finish. The earrings are protected with a thin layer of ProtectaClear to prevent tarnishing.

Get to Know Your Stones:

Freshwater pearls, although the most common type of pearl available today, can be found in nearly any shape and color. In fact, a single freshwater pearl mussel has the ability to produce up to fifty pearls at one time. In Western culture, pearls are known to hold an association with the planet Venus, though it is more well known as the birthstone of those born in June.
