Irish Marble Beads Clip on Drop Earrings

From Designer Katherine Kornblau's Four Providences Collection, these 2 and 5/8 inches (66mm) long non-pierced earrings feature genuine marble beads from Ireland. 3 graduated lengths of Figaro chain - made in Italy - are anchored by three 8mm (5/16 inch) balls of Irish marble that hang from a 4th marble ball linking them to a simple ball and loop clip. Available in your choice of gold-filled chain with a red top bead or sterling silver with a green top bead. In ancient times Ireland was divided into 4 Providences, each ruled by a different king. Each of these marbles comes from a different ancient providence: Black Kilkenny from Leinster; White from Ulster; Red Cork from Munster and Connemara Green from Connacht. Pieces of Ireland that incorporate ancient history with modern crafting.
