VINTAGE Chinese Eternity Lantern Tassel Earrings

I have an eclectic taste in almost anything- including my fashion sense and my own jewelry designs. I love modern, new things but when I see old stuff, I can't help but admire them too! :)

Like these one-of-kind vintage Chinese clay beads that I bought from a jeweler who bought them while on a trip to Hongkong in the 1980s. Aren't they beautiful? These beads were very popular back then and had been sold at the Washington DC Smithsonian Institution's museum shop and mail order catalogs and were also featured in trunk shows at Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue during that same time period.

So here's what I made them out of: VINTAGE Chinese Eternity Lantern Tassel Earrings. I've designed and created so many jewelry pieces, but these are one of my top favorites! They're truly beautiful and very unique! :)



It's up for sale at only $18.00 at my Etsy shop right now. I only have two pairs of these earrings available, so if you want them go grab them before they're gone. I ship to the U.S. and international. And oh, in case you don't know yet, I design and create handmade jewelry with semi-precious gemstones, Swarovski crystals and pearls. And I work from my home that is 100% smoke-free and pet-free.

Thanks for looking and I hope you're all having a great Tuesday! :)
