Faceted Mother of Pearl Earrings

Tammy Powley
The gray faceted mother-of-pearl beads are the stars in this earring design. They are accented with small spacer beads and hang from a triple loop head pin made from sterling wire. Wear them solo or team them up with the Turtle Time Mother of Pearl and Sterling Necklace, which includes the same gorgeous faceted beads.
