This photo does not adequately demonstrate the beauty of these beads, they are unique.

I had two onyx beads left over from another project. Rather than take the time to find where they belong in my stock, I created this pair of earrings.

Copper and aqua or turquoise are complementing colors. The color and cool transparency of these beads remind me of clear, sparkling water.

The earrings have a drop of 1 3/4″
