Orange Beaded Bead Earrings Long Kidney Wires Flying Saucer
Oval base beads covered in tiny seed beads dangle from elegant, elongated kidney earwires.
I started with translucent frosted white acrylic beads in an onion or saucer shape, I covered them with a striped pattern of orange, bronze, metallic green and sky blue beads using an off loom beadweaving technique called peyote stitch. Each bead is secured within the woven pattern with multiple passes of nymo thread, a sturdy, multifilament nylon thread widely used by bead artists. Each tiny size 15 and 11 bead was woven in by hand. The little flying saucer shaped beaded beads dangle from long elegant silver plated kidney wires. All the metal components in these earrings are silver plated and the earrings are lightweight for their size and length.
• Dimensions - overall length is 2.375 inches (6.03 cm( from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the beaded bead. The widest diameter of the beaded bead is .75 inches (1.9 cm).
• These earrings were created by hand and are one of a kind
