E-0661 - Vintage Black Painted Beaded Earrings

When going through my Mom's jewelry box after she passed away, I found a broken beaded necklace. I believe it was my grandmother's, and it had multiple types of beads on it. These were the coolest looking beads, and I took it not thinking anything of it but as a keepsake, even broken. I was not even thinking about making jewelry back then in 2008.

I found the beads the other day, and decided that they would make lovely earrings. They are probably from the 1950's and look hand painted in black with red, green, yellow and pink on top in an artistic style. Each bead is different. I tried to match them up when making these.

The beads themselves, I believe, are resin underneath. I added gold plated beads to the top and bottom to give some additional detail and depth to them, and they hang from gold-filled leverbacks. I love how they came out. They measure 1-3/4 inches long.

I can also change them to a plated clip-on/screwback for those without pierced ears or an earwire if you don't like leverback. Message me ahead of time to make sure I have those items in stock in which to do so.
