The earrings shown in the photo feature silver-plated MIYUKI beads (I do not yet have photos of the version with white beads).

The foundation of these earrings is a handmade lace crafted from exclusive original Zari Zardozi thread, made in India from genuine sterling silver (Ag925).

Zardozi is a type of intricate embroidery created using metallic gold or silver threads on silk, satin, or velvet fabric.

The earrings are embellished with luxurious silver-plated Japanese MIYUKI beads (Bright Sterling Plated), featuring a perfect opaque metallic silver colour without any yellow undertones. The beads are plated with silver and combined with white Swarovski pearls, a central Czech Preciosa crystal, and a white Swarovski teardrop pearl. All components are made of sterling silver (Ag925), including the sterling silver stud posts, as well as rhodium-plated Ag925 pins and hoops, making them suitable even for sensitive ears.

**Silver-plated beads are created using a unique manufacturing process. Please note that over many years, or when exposed to water, chemicals, or improper storage conditions, these beads may darken over time. To preserve their beauty for years to come, gently polish them after each use with a soft, dry glasses-cleaning cloth to remove any surface residue or impurities. I also recommend storing them in a sealed zip-lock bag. Never use silver cleaning solutions or silver polishing cloths on silver-plated beads, as these may damage the delicate silver-plated surface.

As Swarovski is changing its business strategy and discontinuing the worldwide sale of individual beads and jewellery-making components, I am only able to create a limited number of these earrings.

A Swarovski pearl is an imitation pearl created using a Swarovski crystal core, resulting in an exceptionally realistic pearl appearance. Thanks to the crystal core and multiple layers of pearl coating, it offers a brighter and more luminous finish than many other imitation pearls. Swarovski pearls are relatively easy to care for — they can be gently washed, are resistant to perspiration and perfumes, and are highly scratch-resistant.

The earrings are exceptionally lightweight and sparkle beautifully from every angle.
