Black onyx and sterling silver large front facing hoops earrings by Dana Reed

Gorgeous and unique dangle/drop earrings in black onyx and sterling silver 925 by Dana Reed Designs Each earring has an ear hook connected to a large sterling silver circle which then has one large faceted black onyx bead; the hoops move nicely but are front facing when wearing while I love The onyx beads are closely matched in size from one earring to the other though not exact matches of course Dana Reed is a Chicago area jewelry designer (see her site Dana Reed Designs to see the pretty jewelry she sells currently. I met her at a jewelry show approx 20 yrs ago and bought these. I later bought other pieces (some currently listed). Earrings from top of ear wire to bottom are approx 2 3/8"; onyx beads are approx 18 mm long x 10 mm wide Both earrings together weigh approx 12.59 grams with earring so rather lightweight for the size I wore them quite a few times but haven't in quite a while as I wear multiple studs and only smaller earrings now In great pre-owned condition; but will have surface scratches visible under magnification as any jewelry that's been worn would have Sterling is oxidized as pictured and could be polished if you like but I will leave that up to new owner since some people (like me) prefer oxidized look
