"Chance" Earrings

If you love taking a chance with a pop of bold color--a red lip, a hot-pink shoe, an electric-blue bag--these earrings are for you! They feature the red and black of roulette wheels and suits of cards, set off with bright silver findings for a little shine.

There's texture here too: the black Czech-glass beads are fluted, with a bit of a vintage feel, and the red magnesite is carved, adding a bit more interest.

Tiny black silicone rings add definition and help protect the beads.

Clear plastic earnuts (earring "backs") are included for extra security. (Twist rather than push or pull these on and off to keep the earwires in good shape.)

The details

• length: approximately 2 1/8 inches, from top of earwire to bottom tip
• size of largest bead: 12mm
• metals: silver-plated base metals (brass and stainless steel)
• "weight" (actually mass): 3g per earring, comparable to a U.S. penny
