Czech Fire Polished Glass and Swarovski Earrings

by Barry
(WB, Virginia)

These earrings are made from clear A/B finished Czech fire polished glass beads and peach and lavender Swarovski crystal pearls wrapped with pure copper wire. Czech fire polished glass beads are produced in the Czech Republic and are finished in a furnace.

The intense heat of the furnace "fires" the facets smooth. The result is warm flashes of refracted fire, boiling up from the interior. Swarovski® crystal pearls with a heart of the finest Austrian crystal are finished with multiple layers of highly luminous pearlescence.

Swarovski crystal pearls capture the look of a fine South Seas pearl and combine it with exquisite craftsmanship. The entire earrings have been coated to prevent tarnish.

Czech glass fire
by: Rena

I love how the simplicity of the earring design puts the focus on the flashes of fire from the Czech glass. Very nicely done - thank you for sharing them with us.

What did you coat the earrings with to prevent tarnish?
