These earrings have been made using Scarlet red shade Swarovski rivolis, which have a faceted pointed front and back. I have placed them in a beadwoven setting called a bezel, made using quality Japanese seed beads in various shades of red, some with pinkish tones. This has been embellished and a drop created underneath by encasing a round dyed pink agate bead in more seed beads. I have created further dangle and durability by linking each section of the earrings with Czech superduo two holed beads. Finished using rolled rose gold ear wires, these are stunning sparkling earrings.

Total earring length is approximately c.51mm, including earwire. Each rivoli bead has a diameter of 8mm before and c.15mm after embellishment and the dyed pink agate beads are 6mm diameter before embellishment.

Rolled gold, also known as gold filled, is made by mechanically bonding gold to a base metal such as brass or copper, which are cheaper but also more durable metals. Many people with sensitive skin often find rolled gold findings more comfortable than cheaper gold plated findings to wear, although please proceed with caution.
