Tiny matte bronze colored round seed beads woven into a 10mm sphere suspended from sterling silver French hook ear wire.

Delicate and *very* lightweight. I love the open work. You'd have to squeeze somewhat hard to ruin the shape of the orbs. That said, these earrings are not intended to be slept in, worn with head phones, helmet, etc.

The dangling portion hangs approximately 3/4 inch from the piercing hole.

I discovered a beaded sphere made from rice pearls at a bead store that was going out of business. I loved the open work of the sphere, and researched the technique online for weeks before I discovered how to make them myself. Hint: do NOT type "beaded balls" into google on a computer you share with kids - YIKES!

For this design, I substituted three seed beads for each pearl. I love the color of these!
