Red, my favorite color. Aren't these just gorgeous. I made these using red Whitehearts,I love these little devils. I made the earwires using 20 gauge wire. Included also in the design, are gold filled headpins and 4 mm gold filled balls. The center beads are red with gold speckle Czech Glass "Picasso" beads. Thease beauties measure about 2 3/4 inches long. If you so desire I can certainly convert these to clip on earrings please send me an email to let me know.
