The earrings consist of a Herkimer gemstone and yellow new old stock vintage German glass beads that are framed with 24K gold. Most of the beads used in the collection were hand pressed during the 1950s-1960s. No two beads are exactly alike. These beads are no longer in production thus making them rare and considered collectible.  Due to the nature of this jewelry, it is unique.
