Medium-Sized Ivory Acrylic Faux Pearl Teardrop Earrings with Gold or Antiqued Brass Plated Findings

$16.50
This listing is for one pair of earrings. These were made using vintage Japanese acrylic pearl beads and gold-plated or antiqued brass findings and hinged lever-back earwires. These are nicely light-weight for their size.

The pearl beads are "vintage new", and do tend to have some variations and minor flaws, but care is taken not only to match up beads in the pairs, but to make sure no seriously flawed beads are used. They measure just over 1 5/8" (41mm) in length, including the earwires.

Note: please see photos for minor variations in design. There are two styles of lever-backs used on the earrings, because the original styles used suffered a noteworthy drop in quality (with severe structural issues!) so I have switched to a slightly different style (without the little teardrop on the front) until the problem is resolved. This has now happened multiple times, so there is an additional possibility that the earrings will have a variation on the design on the front of the earwire- if you have strong opinions about this, please drop me a note. Otherwise, quality and hinge stability is the top priority.
