Three different colors, three different finishes, three different ages. I see a trend here. As in, "three times the charm," or something like that. I prefer "good luck happens in threes." Or, even better, "three course meal." Of course, there's also "three-legged race." Not to forget, "third eye."

What's this fascination humans have for the number three? Well, three is the first non-singular, odd, prime number. Something to consider.

The red beads are quite old, a rescuee from an early 20th century necklace. The silver colored beads are Czech firepolish crystal in a metallic finish. The emerald beads are Swarovski faceted crystal with a single AB finish.

Perfect holiday colors, for those of you thinking ahead, and a perfect gift for someone a little bit special.

Length of these dangle earrings is a little under an inch.

Shown with hypoallergenic niobium earwires which can be swapped out for Argentium sterling silver (no extra charge) if you prefer.
