The "Kryptonite" earrings feature artisan mint green lampwork beads and sterling silver - unique jewelry for women.
You don’t have to worry about these earrings . . . even if you are Superman . . . since the mint green KRYPTONITE handmade earrings will energize you each and every time you wear them! The one of a kind earrings are breathtaking in their harmonious use of color and are perfect to wear all spring and summer long. The earrings feature artisan lampwork glass beads in a luscious green color that is actually called “kryptonite” by the glass manufacturer. Each glass bead is wrapped in .999 fine silver, adding a whimsical look of glowing silver dots that add texture and shine. For a velvety matte finish, the lampwork beads were acid etched, giving a tumbled sea glass effect. The earrings are positively eye-catching when worn.
To frame the beads, sterling silver daisy spacers were added to the top and bottom of each lampwork bead. To mimic the fine silver dots on the mint green beads, glowing sterling silver beads in three different sizes were stacked on top. The sizes are, in order from bottom to top: 4 mm, 3 mm and 2 mm. All of the elements used in the earrings were strung on sterling silver headpins, carefully wire wrapped and connected to sterling French hook earwires. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the KRYPTONITE dangle earrings were created for the woman who loves unique artisan jewelry with a knock out color.
