Cabaret Earrings (Reboot)

PROJECT E7056
Designer: Rachel Zaimont
Skill Level: Intermediate
Vibrant, glowing Czech glass 2-hole GemDuos and pip beads nestle together on handmade beading wire forms in these summery statement earrings. The perfect complement to a tropical drink.
Reboot: Please note that we have rebooted this project with a different backlit GemDuo; the new one has more blue and pink/amber versus the green accents in the original.
