Not fake gems. They're genuine Acrylic.
About this design:
Let's face it. Some of us are fools for color. I couldn't resist the image of these jewel tone acrylic beads,so I bought a bunch. I think they're fun,and they're light as a feather.
I know my friends will like these.
Components:
Acrylic beads in brass,GP over surgical steel ear wires,GP jump rings,crystal bicones,GP/brass ball head pins,and Czech 2 tone beads from Lima. **GP over Brass head pins are a BEAR to wrap with. They're very springy,but they look nice and the price is great.**Additional Images:

Fresh Baked says:Perfectly pretty for some holiday sparkle, Nancy! The gold is a nice rich touch to these earrings.

gypsyheartCin says:Good quality acrylic beads can be even more sparkly than their more expensive glass counterparts. And since they’re so lightweight, you can make up big chunky designs that won’t make anyone feel like they’re wearing boulders for earrings. I love the gold with these beautiful jewel tones. Thanks for sharing Nancy!
