These fun earrings are perfect for your next antique shopping adventure.  Using acrylic paint, I personally hand painted each of the two-inch long wooden tear drop components featuring an antique pair of Staffordshire Pottery Dogs.  The backs of the earrings are also painted the same periwinkle blue as the background of the front.  They are accented with blue and white chinoiserie style porcelain beads, as well as a blue-gray, faceted, glass bead.    The earrings are finished with nickel free, silver-toned French style ear wires.  These oversized, teardrop earrings are rather lightweight and they are approximatively a total length of three inches form top to bottom.
