NEW on Lopaka: Earrings with Victorian Glass Pieces

We just listed these on Lopaka Designs ... Hand made earrings using Victorian molded glass leaves and beads. Priced at $24.95 a pair. Check them out!

Unfortunately, the trees had seen better days and I decided to rescue the glass pieces. Watch for necklaces in the near future!
