Tibetan Sen Earrings

by Michele Rose, Harlequin Staff

These stunning chandelier earrings remind us of the Art Deco era as cobalt blue beads swing from a Tierra Cast coin component that embodies many of the symbols of that day.

Asian symbols adorn the front and back of the coin component as well as a triumphant Phoenix. It is a design that is sure to bring you looks and luck!
