Austrian crystal beads evoke a tasty, wrapped Christmas candy in these sweet, seasonal earrings.
Reboot: We have updated this design to maximize the sparkle effect. We have chosen Crystal AB for the candy wrapper ends and added a Light Siam AB round bead as the center "candy" for extra shine. We have also chosen a pretty gold-filled earring hoook to elevate the design.
