Twinkling Celestial Earrings
Imagine these beauties just
brushing your shoulders while the light reflects on the gorgeous Swarovski
crystal cubes. Dancing among the crystals are pretty freshwater rice
pearls and our fabulous star pearls. These earrings are shoulder
dusters, but you can certainly make them shorter by adjusting the length
of the chain.
