I love my Lillian I earrings, so I decided to make a similar pair that is also one-of-a-kind. These lightweight earrings are full of movement and the purple and gold--the colors of the Thai Water Lilies that inspired my Lillian Collection.
These earrings feature deep purple to violet amethyst chips and Delica®, glass, silver-lined chocolate seed beads, which are secured by a gold tube bead on gold-over-brass teardrop hoops. A golden faceted bead, heavily plated with 22 karat gold, a lilac stone, and a precious Delica® seed bead complete the drop that dances below the amethyst.
This third version of Lillian earrings will compliment the Lillian I or Lillian II necklaces well. Lillian III earrings come with ear nuts so you can wear them fastened through the first or second ring, for a touch of elegance, or unfastened, for a more contemporary look (e.g. see images above and below). They are approximately 2" long fastened or unfastened (including the 3/4" drop).
