Individually crafted, these teardrop botanical earrings draw inspiration from the picturesque lavender fields of San Juan Island in Washington State. Each glass bead, fashioned with colored glass and sterling silver is a unique work of art. The beads' design represents the distinct whorls of lavender buds, spaced apart on the stem of certain varieties. Following the meticulous sculpting process, each bead undergoes proper annealing—slowly cooled overnight in a digitally controlled kiln—to ensure strength and longevity. Elevating these lampwork beads to wearable art, they are strung with sterling silver wire & findings, and adorned with coordinating Austrian Swarovski Crystals. Encased within a small pear-shaped frame, the beads undergo a transformation, becoming distinctive accessories. The earrings are accompanied by a purple satin drawstring pouch filled with aromatic dried lavender buds. Orders will be fulfilled with Purple Rose, customizable in any glass color upon request.
