The wired focal of the Hodge Podge Honeycomb Earrings features 7 Honeycomb beads that have been staggered in a geometrical pattern. This focal is then suspended from chains and a lovely earring hook, creating a modern pair of statement earrings.
Reboot: These earrings have been given a fresh spring twist by swapping out the original fall-hued Honeycomb beads for pink and green beads.
