Jet-black Czech round beads are used in this design.  In graduated sizes from 10mm to 3mm, these earrings are 2.5" long and use traditional silver-plated fishhook earwires. 
 
All metal used is hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and either sterling silver, silver, or gold-plated, or stainless steel unless noted otherwise in the description.  Every item is handcrafted and custom-made, nothing mass-produced.
