Vintage Script Handmade Bead Earrings

These vintage script earrings feature beads made of paper. I tightly roll the paper into small columns, lightly distress them with ink to make them look old, and then apply two coats of lacquer to harden them and make them water-resistant. Then the earrings are assembled with pins, beads and earring hooks. The finished earrings look like ceramic are extremely light and comfortable.
