These are designed and made using the brick stitch, which is common in Native American Indian jewelry. (The maker has practiced this art most of their life, as both her Mother and Grandmother were raised on reservations). They measure 1/2" across by 3&1/2" long, not including the surgical steel french ear wires. The beads are cobalt blue, silver-lined clear, and silver-lined candy apple red. She added a 6mm, faceted glass cobalt blue bead at the bottom of each fringe for accent. Wear them with pride, showing your support! Genuine Native American Beaded Earrings. Beautiful and priced right at $25
