Gold & Fire Opal, Red Aventurine Earrings

These earrings were handcrafted by me (Michelle) with gold filled wire around fire opal and red aventurine beads. Despite the name "red" aventurine they are actually an orange color.

They hang about 32mm (25mm= 1 inch) below the earwire.

Gold filled wire is NOT the same as gold plated. There is about 100 times more gold in the filled wire than there is in plated. It is also bonded to the base metal with a process far superior to that of plated so it is not going to chip or flake off over time like the plated wire will.color:orange
