Eiffel Tower "La Vie en Rose" Paris Earrings
- Rose Charms & Swarovski Rose Pink Crystals -
Any Paris lover will find these Eiffel Tower earrings a fun and pretty pair of boho chic dangles. Their design was inspired by the song "La Vie en Rose," made famous by Edith Piaf, a vocalist known during her lifetime as France's national chanteuse. To bring the song to mind, I used lovely rose charms and Swarovski rose pink bicone crystals. The focals of the earrings present an image of the Eiffel Tower superimposed over a miniature postcard decorated with Victorian-style roses.
These are artisan-made focals and were created from design paper and artboard and then finished with a sealer. The picture appears only on the front. The focals are lightweight, with a thickness of just under 2mm. Be aware that they are not suitable for water activites or the shower, and that bending them will leave a crease in them. When cared for properly, they will continue to provide you with a beautifully unique, one-of-a-kind pair of earrings.
The rose charms are made from silver-tone metal and are finely detailed on both the front and back. They hang from silver-filled jump rings under the focals, which in turn hang from dangles with large Swarovski crystals. Shiny sterling silver rondelles flank each crystal. Also included are sterling silver earring hooks, which I decorated with small Swarovski rose crystals to add an extra touch of boho elegance. The length here is 2.5 inches, including the ear hooks.
Uniquely cheerful, fun, and meaningful to anyone who loves "The City of Light," these earrings are sure to please with their inspirational remembrance of Paris and its most popular monument, the Eiffel Tower. Handmade beaded by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer, they come on a PrettyGonzo card and wrapped in a sweet organiza bag, all set for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!
ABOUT "LA VIE EN ROSE"
Written in 1945, this song was first made popular by Edith Piaf, who composed the lyrics. (Louiguy is credited with the music.) A simple song, it expresses how falling in love makes the world seem like a beautiful place, as if you are seeing everything through rose-colored glasses.
Although the song was regarded as a minor piece by Piaf's peers, it became a concert staple for Piaf after WWII. Soon her recordings of it were selling well in other countries, including the United States, where over the million copies were sold. Many singing stars in the United States recorded an English lyrics version of the song, including Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, and Donna Summer. However, "La Vie en Rose" remains the signature song of Edith Piaf.
