A trio of Czech glass 2-hole GemDuo beads are neatly nestled into etched Cymbal Bead Endings, giving these earrings a uniquely angular clustered look. Cymbal Bead Substitutes hang with seed bead accents from 5mm jump rings on flat cable chain, adding movement to the design.
Reboot: Please note that the purple of the GemDuo and green of the seed bead have changed slightly.
