Gold-Filled Curliques with Clear AB Crystal by Meg Black-Smith
These lightweight, lovely earrings just sparkle. I have been making Curliques for over 35 years, using every color of Crystal available. These are coated with a special coating called Aurora Borealis which adds color to the clear and picks up color you are wearing. The Crystals are 6mm in diameter. I make each pair by hand. The metal I use is 14kt Gold-Filled as I find the color nicer than 12kt Gold-Filled. The gold in Gold-Filled is fused to the base metal and is 1000 times thicker than plating. It wears very well. These earrings are simple but exciting, get lots of compliments, and can be worn with anything, day or night. Of course for special occasions or a special trip. They are 1 3/8 inches long by 3/8 inches wide (about 35mm by 10mm). Enjoy them or give them as a special gift.
