| Imagine unearthing a lost civilization that was once rich with commerce, culture and art to discover that much of its beautiful treasures have been destroyed by time and climatic shifts. The city was known as Bactria and, about 4,500 years ago, it occupied what is now a small part of Afghanistan. Ancient crumbled glass that was once vases, urns and other objects has been reclaimed from the rubble and fashioned into breathtakingly beautiful glass beads by Double Happiness' jewelry designer, Stephanie Wells. Now it is possible for you to enjoy the reincarnated beauty and karmic energies that have been transformed into exquisite jewelry; each piece is a unique work of art. These magnificent statement earrings measure about 4 1/4" long from the wire to the bottom and are about 2 1/4" at the widest part, towards the bottom. The French clips (pierced) and the wire linking the beads are 14k gold filled and the small gold beads are vermeil (14k gold plated over sterling silver). Made in America. |
