Michal's Abalone & Crystal Hoop Clip-on Earrings

These non-pierced hoop earrings begin with a shiny 24k gold electroplated hoop that is 1/4 inch (6mm) wide with a diameter of just a wee bit more than an inch (26mm). Designer Michal Golan embellishes it with enamel, then alternates four 4x7mm (about 3/16 by 3/8 inch ) oval beads of Abalone and three 3mm (1/8 inch) Swarovski Metallic Blue Beads, a dark blue with great iridescent sparkle. Two wee Light Rose crystals are prong set above and below each blue bead - a total of 12 crystals. Gemstone note: Found mostly along the coasts of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, Abalone shell has a stunning display of vibrant, iridescent colors with a dichroic-like appearance
