Tiny "micromaille" earrings in the classic Byzantine weave with a striking blue bead.

• just shy of 1" long from top of earwire
• each earring weighs approximately 0.9 grams (both earring together weigh less than a US dime)
• sterling silver and blue anodized niobium links, sterling wire and ear post, and a mystery blue bead—it's been so long since I've made this I have misplaced the name of the bead. It is an actual crystal or stone and not plastic. It's possible it is Malaysian "jade" which is quartz.
  
• some of the links as well as the wire used to wrap the bead have a slight patina as shown in the photos

CARE
Sterling silver contains copper and therefore it will tarnish. Do NOT use a polishing cloth on this piece, as that will remove the color from the niobium rings. Instead, simply lather it with dishsoap and water. Please message me if you have any questions about caring for your sterling silver pieces.
