Carnelian Earrings - Antique Copper Chandelier Frame with Faceted Carnelian Bead Paddles

An antique copper frame — handcrafted, its warm oxidized surface catching light along every curve — anchors three beaded paddles that cascade from below. Along the frame itself, a faceted 4mm carnelian bead is wire-wrapped at center, its deeper amber tone grounding the span before the drop begins.

Each paddle is beaded with natural carnelian ranging from barely-there peach to deep amber-orange. The center paddle holds one faceted 4mm carnelian bead and two smooth 3mm carnelian beads. The two outer paddles each hold one faceted 4mm and one smooth 3mm carnelian bead — the mix of faceted and smooth surfaces catching light differently, adding quiet texture to the arrangement. The paddles move independently, giving the earring a gentle kinetic energy that shifts with the wearer.

The handcrafted antique copper ear wire carries the same warm, oxidized finish down into the frame, so the piece reads as one coherent handmade object from lobe to tip.

At ⅝" wide by 1¾" long (not including wire), they have genuine presence — long enough to graze a collarbone, warm enough to wear against linen, denim, or anything in between. A handmade piece that earns its place in a collection built around natural color and considered craft.
