These Glass Peach Earrings feature my handmade glass peach beads hung on elegant Sterling Silver marquise wire findings. The peaches are accented by hand made transparent leaves in a dark loden green. Like real peaches, each has a matte surface with areas of dark red blush and a crease down one side. These beads are hand-formed in the flame of a torch from colored glass and copper. The ripe blush is achieved by melting several colors of powdered glass onto the surface, so it will not rub, flake or chip off. No two peaches are exactly alike.
I make peaches in a range of sizes. To keep the earrings light in weight, I normally use peach beads that are around 12mm in size. However, I can make them as small as 10mm or as large as 14mm if you prefer.
Like most of my jewelry, this design is available in both Sterling Silver and 14/20 Gold-filled. Alternative earring findings including post, leverback and clip-on are available. Other peach earring variations and matching necklaces can be seen on the Peaches Page of this site. Peach earrings can also be custom made with high-karat gold or platinum findings and accented with Swarovski Crystal or gemstone beads.
