These earrings are inspired by a pair that I remember my mom wearing when I was growing up. I just took that picture in my head and put it on a longer embellished earwire. Using the Nunn design glass domes is a quick and easy way to make a focal. I love how the purple dome with the gold creates an antique appearance--that can probably be said for any combinations you choose with the colored domes and Nunn Design mini Ornate Oval Bezel Pendants.
