Here are two 1 1/4 inch glass orange beads hand painted with blue and lavender flowers made into pierced earrings with gold tone and a jade green accent bead. Although they look substantial and are relatively large they are only .3 oz each so they shouldn’t strain your pierced ears.
These beads are probably originally from the 70s or 80s. They were bought in a little local bead store that I often visit to see what unusual treasures I can find. They give you a little tray and there are literally thousands of old beads to pick from. While you are shopping, the ancient lady who owns the store is busy making jewelry. These caught my eye and I couldn’t leave them behind. I thought they would get lost in a bracelet and need to be the center of attention instead as earrings. I added a jade accent bead and set the whole thing in gold tone to play up the luminous art on the beads. It features many colors so it probably can match and enhance many things already in your closet. The jade beads are from a vintage broken necklace and they could be jasper or another stone. I think they are jade from the color. But they let the dangle move more so I added them especially if you have hair that covers your ears and want the orange to be featured.
