If you like dragonflies, these pierced earrings are for you! Made of copper and sterling silver, these mixed metal artisan earrings shimmer of fresh earth tones.

The beautiful artisan glass beads have an almost iridescent quality, like a light sea foam mist on a warm summer day. Dragonflies enjoy the water, so it felt really natural to include these handmade glass beads in this design.

The olive green Swarovski crystals beads represent the forest, and my handmade copper bead caps/accents represent the earth and the trees... my handmade sterling silver ear wires represent the gray of the rocks.

Everything in these earrings is about nature. Lightly oxidized to bring out the details and to give this one of a kind pair of earrings a more earthy tone.

- These pierced earrings measure 2 1/4" long from the top of my handmade ear wires.

- The dragonflies measure approx. 7/8" wide (to give you an idea of the size).

I get a lot of dragonflies in my backyard. They seem to enjoy my garden quite a bit for the shade it provides in the afternoon and for the snacks they can find :)

I enjoy watching their iridescent colors shimmering in the sun as they hover by, sometimes landing on the railing of my back porch, other times contemplating a few bugs around my flowers or my rock garden.

We have over 70 species here in Alberta.
