Ombre Crystal Christmas Tree Earrings (Reboot)

PROJECT E1087
Designer: Megan Milliken

Pretty Austrian crystal beads form petite Christmas Trees that start crystal clear and gradually darken to dark moss green.
Reboot: For extra sparkle we have replaced the Moss Green bottom tree level with a dazzling Crystal Vitrail Medium one.
