These earrings are perfect 18th Century Pear Crystal earrings. Talk about an elegant statement earring. They are surprisingly lightweight, and have gorgeous faceted crystals to them. They are foiled so the light reflects from within. They also hang beautifully from a post or earwire. They are very lovely and excellent quality. They look similar to those worn in the time period, and I modified them just a bit. I added a few things to these and included a better backing.

The first pair are a long a late 18th or early 19th century Pendalogue style earring that I have converted from clip on to earwires. They measure about 2-3/4 inches long by 1/2 inch wide. So gorgeous, long, and reflect the light very well. They are not heavy, but do have some weight to them.

The second are a gorgeous teardrop earring in gold crystal posts and teardrops within teardrops! They measures 1-1/4 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. They have a crystal connector as well - to continue the bling! They are lightweight, but do have a bit of weight to them.

The third pair are gorgeous silver CZ posts with CZ teadrops surrounded by more CZ. So lovely and elegant. They measure a little over an inch long by a 1/2 inch wide. They are lightweight and pretty.

The fourth pair are such a lovely silver pair all in rhinestones. The center with a Forget Me Not connector. They measure 2-1/2 inches long by almost 3/4 inches wide. They are surprisingly lightweight. They have surgical steel posts.
