DESCRIPTION:

Anchored from a oval cut Lapis top is a circle form with all HAND SOLDERED various sized beads that are soldered atop of a darkened oxidized sterling finish..Personally they look more like stars & planet in the sky! The cross is used as a accent & appears to be in heaven.The beaded portion is between a dime & a quarter(Give or Take)

Although all the beads add to their weight,the earring is not heavy,but yet made with a durable gauge sterling that is not flimsy & are very wearable!.The beads,bezel & backside have a 'mirror polished' finishing that adds to their contemporary aesthetic.
