Zuri Beaded Drop Earrings, Black and Gold, Handmade

Handmade beaded drop earrings in a pointed leaf shape, worked in black seed beads with a gold beaded outline and a gold line tracing the shape again inside, on plated hooks. Zuri means beautiful in Swahili. This is the evening half of the pair of colourways: black and gold does the same job as the white version but reads sharper against a dark outfit, where white can disappear. The drop is open at the centre rather than filled, so they stay light on the ear and move as you do. Black and gold is also the more forgiving colourway if you wear a lot of print, because it holds its own without competing. If most of what you wear is pale, the white and gold Zuri is the one to look at instead. The maker gives the drop as 6cm by 3cm. Every bead is threaded by hand, so the two earrings differ a little from each other. Keep them away from perfume, and store them flat.
