HANDMADE GENIUNE CULTURED WHITE FRESHWATER PEARL AND SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL DANGLE EARRINGS; HAND FORGED STERLING SILVER EAR WIRES - ARTISAN JEWELRY BY SHANGHAI TAI:

These earrings are very elegant, and top quality, and perfect for a bride on her wedding day: Traditional pearls, plus an added sparkle from the crystals. The genuine freshwater pearls are very white and approximately 5-6mm in diameter, and although not perfectly round, they have a very nice luster. The AB Swarovski crystals are xillion, which as near as I can tell means "extra sparkly".

These are lucky earrings because, since the number 8 is lucky in China, there are 8 dangles on each earring, for a total of 8 crystals and 8 pearls. Three eights make these earrings very lucky! Maybe they can bring you a little extra luck on your special day.

I have attached the dangles to a beautiful figure 8 sterling silver chain. This is my favorite style of chain, very elegant, with twists so it sparkles when it catches the light. I attached all the dangles with closed loops, not open. This takes a little more time and a little more sterling silver wire, but it is worth it because so they will not fall apart like some earrings do. Have you ever had parts falling off your earrings?

I hand forged the sterling ear wires from sterling silver wire. I will include some little clear rubber backs so you won't have to worry about losing them.

These earrings are about 2 1/4" (25mm) long including the earwire.

Brides, it won't matter if you have an afternoon garden wedding or an evening candlelight wedding/reception. These earrings will look great either way. And after the wedding you can still enjoy wearing them anytime you want some stunning dangles.
