Gorgeous in design, colors, and materials. The recycled glass in the varying colors is perfect for these beads. They sparkle and swing, and are just lovely! Wear with anything! Very happy with them.

"Completed My Suite of Wooden Jewelry Pieces"
I now have a necklace, bracelet, rings and these earrings featuring the natural beauty of wood. These earrings have complimentary wooden beads that make them special, without being flashy. Beautiful craftsmanship.
