Increadibly light weight, these hollow goccia (tear drop) shaped earrings feature twisted lines of cobalt, aqua, clear and gold glass. The beads are individually blown on the island of Murano, Italy where they have been making glass since the 13th century. The beads measure roughly 1 1/8" long and 3/8" wide at the bottom. They hang a little less than 2" from the earhole. I've framed them with Swarovski crystals. They fasten to the ear with the highest quality 14kt gold-filled lever-backs.
