When you're a little different why should your earrings match? Resist simple definition with unmatched earrings. A mystical face on a flat bead highlights one while a rectangular bead decorated with a bit of whimsy sits on the other. Both sit on tumbled jade with green metallic beads at the top. Says creator Emily Calvo, "They were fun to make, so I know they'll be fun to wear."

Coolstuffetc's Ms. Calvo looks for unique beads that she can mix and match to form elegant, yet dynamic designs. She also enjoys whimsical and nontraditional concoctions. Twisting the wire adds a unique and subtle effect that makes each pair of earrings unique. She loves the idea that she can create affordable items that bring more pleasure and beauty into the world.
