I like the idea of an intriguing duality, something beautiful contrasting with something that conjures up images of darkness or of something slightly sinister. Fairytales and novels are filled with these dualities and now so are earrings (lol)! Lovely reconstituted turquoise rose beads, paired with patina copper serpent beads, Czech glass cathedral beads, and gold filled ear wires. Bold 3 inch long beauties that are Sssssensational!
