These mint green ribbed- back beetle earrings are definitely a conversation starter…  or maybe they will be a converstaion thwarter.  (Let me know what happens).   Either way, these earrings are pretty cool!   The raw brass, hollow-back beetle components are approximately 1 inch by 1 and 1/4 inches in dimension.  Despite their appearance, the earrings are rather light weight as the mint green caboshon consists of an acrylic material.      The earrings have gold toned (nickel free) ear wires  and are adorned gold and mint green glass Czech beads.  The total length of the earrings is approximatel two and 1/4  inches from top to bottom.
