Summer of Love Earrings

Looking like they survived the 1960s and the Summer of Love, these lightweight earrings have a story to tell. Created from vintage Chinese cloisonne beads, enameled in soft pinks, greens, blues, and burgundy, the beads feature delicate raised silver outlined flowers and leaves. Secured between silver-plated spacers, the detailed beads sit atop vintage kuchi style lotus charms that have been waxed to keep their patina intact. The hollow beads and lightweight charms swing enticingly from long and graceful handmade hypoallergenic niobium ear wires. Although the earrings look quite old, none of their components have ever been worn. What is the story they have to tell? Why yours of course!
