Shiny Time Earrings

These long, elegant earrings feature vintage clock hands and a bit of sparkle. The length is enhanced by the short sections of Swarovski crystal chain at the top of the earrings. The variable patina on the clock hands is wonderful mixed with the naked brass of the crystal findings and the gunmetal and stainless steel findings.
