Cascading Baroque Earrings Cascading silver best describes these
pretty earrings. We have used our sterling silver baroque chandelier
earring finding with our sterling silver double oval chain and added a
5mm Swarovski crystal. We chose the aquamarine crystal, but you can
use your own birthstone or favorite color.
