Vortex earrings with art glass beads, amethyst, and amazonite

Miniature whirlpools of bright purple and cool aqua encircle these delightful art glass beads. They’d get plenty of attention on their own, but gemstone beads turn these earrings into real showstoppers — clear purple amethyst rounds and long drops of soft blue amazonite.
