These are vintage white opaque beads that while they were still hot were rolled in deep red frit. Frit in finely ground glass. They are then put back in the flame for a short time to allow the frit to soften and round the edges. I surrounded them with smaller red beads to bring out their "redness."

These earrings hang down about 1" from hypoallergenic ear wires that are stainless steel.
