The long amethyst glass drops are faceted on the backs and edges, and flat on the fronts.They sparkle and flash in the least bit of light. I've topped them with large white freshwater pearls, and dangled this delightful duo from 14 kt gold fill French hooks on which I've threaded 3mm Swarovski Crystal amethyst bicone beads. The earrings dangle about 2-1/2" from the tops of the findings to the tips of the drops. Something this elegant and easy to wear could only come from SPARKLE PLENTY.All of our one of a kind and limited edition artisan beaded jewelry is individually handcrafted in our studio in Los Angeles, California.
