These are lovely earrings, and as another reviewer noted, the colors are more muted than they appear on the computer screen. There are some imperfections in the glass beads which contribute to the artisan look.
My great grandparents immigrated from Ireland to America because of the potato famine in the mid-nineteenth century. My father worked as a railroad engineer early in his career. He would have liked these iron bookends upcycled from railroad spikes. Bravo!
