Even those who wear black can celebrate the colors of the flowers. I buy beads with no intent in mind, usually, except because something calls to me about them. The colors of the crystals called to me for my love of lilacs. The interesting black leaf beads called to me because I've never seen leaf beads in black. I happened to buy them the same day and didn't realize until after I got home, how lovely they would be with each other. On each earring 3 lilac Swarvoski crystals dangle with a black Czech glass pressed leaf bead. All are hand wire wrapped with sterling silver. Length 1 inch. These are for sale on my website in The Mystic Isle Collection. Thank you to EBSQ for the fun shows. I love entering them!
