The focus bead of these are made from Abalone shell. They are quite iridescent. The length of these are approx. 2+3/4" The hook is formed from 21 gauge antique brass colored craft wire, fastened, by a triangular twist to a forged, flattened piece of 16 gauge aluminum wire that I have painted a metallic purple. I used a tiny heart shaped hole punch (I hope you can see this in detail image 7). Above and below the abalone are mini faux seed pearls. Below second pearl is a tiny, clear glass seed bead, followed by a small slightly iridescent heart shaped bead, (colors ranging from purple to green). The length is finished with a baby crystal dangle. The tail of the ear hooks are approx. 7/8" long. Definitely made with Irish Sealties in mind. Remember to hide your pelts...
