Green Teardrop with Black Detail Earrings
Green Teardrop with Black Detail Earrings
The Brand: I. Ronni Kappos jewelry is handmade in Los Angeles from an evolving collection of vintage German glass, lucite, and other collectible materials. The beads, found on expeditions made by Ronni and her twin sister, were pressed during the 1920–60’s by craftsmen whose meticulous techniques yielded unusual colors and shapes. Some of the rarer stock has 24K gold around the edges. Variations in the beads add character to the pieces and make them truly unique.
Description: Ronni’s work is tactile, happy and graphic. She knits and stitches and engineers each piece to become just what she dreams it to be. These earrings come alive when they are worn. From the side you can catch a glimpse of the 24K gold edge (a subtle and gorgeous detail) and the double stacked glass beads are lively and fun.
Details: German vintage glass beads, 24K gold dip, 14K gold-fill findings, 2 inch drop
A Note From Erika: There is an elegance in the length and shape of these earrings. This is one of Ronni’s longer drops and it’s perfect for someone who loves that kind of statement. Ronni’s strength is in her use of colors. I am also continually amazed by her ability to be so creative while adhering to the constraints of only using vintage beads.
