The matte gold lotus links that I chose for these earrings are some of my favorites because they are sculpted so finely and true to nature that they seem as if their petals could move! Just about anything I pair with them is top enhanced by their lovely form and subtle, golden glow.* In this instance, I combined Crystal AB Full Coat Swarovski round beads** with Crystal AB/gold-plated rondelles, which form a slender bridge to brilliantly blue vintage Sapphire AB faceted teardrops. The color palette of gold, crystal, and deep blue is timelessly appealing, and the graceful shape of the lotus links at the top to the teardrops at the bottom make these earrings exquisitely elegant!

*The lotus links are offered in matte silver as well, so I might have said silvery sheen!

**In the main photo the Crystal AB rounds look blue on top but they are simply reflecting the blue of the Sapphire teardrops that is bouncing off of the vintage glass toothpick holder.
