Sun Drop Crystal Bezel Earrings

Rose Peach Shimmer Swarovski Crystal Rivoli Beaded Bezel Earrings Pacific Opal indian pink ab2x deborah roberti antique earrings

I just finished these yesterday and I can’t wait to wear them!  These sparkling earrings were designed using Deborah Roberti’s Antique Earrings Tutorial (only $5!). I used Pacific Opal 4mm crystal bicones along with 3mm Indian Pink AB2x bicones (super sparkly!).  I was originally going to use 12mm Rose Peach crystal rivolis however I bumped into a shop on ebay that sells custom coated crystal stones!  I ended up buying quite a few stones from this shop and I chose Rose Peach Shimmer Rivolis for these earrings.  The special coating (Shimmer) brings the crystal color and reflection to another level giving the stones a fiery radiance with a turquoise iridescence at certain angles.
