Ombré Tie-Dye Handmade Resin Teardrop Earrings

This is a pair of handmade resin earrings featuring a striking ombré and tie-dye effect, presented in a teardrop or pear-shaped form. Each earring measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length from the top of the resin dangle to the bottom point, excluding the ear wire. The primary material is a glossy, transparent resin that encapsulates various pigments to create the colorful effect. The color palette transitions from an aqua blue at the top, blending into shades of lime green, then into a vibrant pink or fuchsia, and finally settling into a sandy beige or light gold tone at the bottom. This color transition provides an 'ombré' or 'tie-dye' appearance, reminiscent of a sunset or tropical beach scene, indicating an intentional artistic application during the crafting process. Some areas within the resin display a subtle shimmer or glitter effect, particularly noticeable in the beige/gold and pink sections, suggesting that fine glitter or mica powder was incorporated into the resin mixture. Small, dark specks, possibly dust or small inclusions, are visible within the resin of the right earring, typical of handmade resin items and not necessarily defects but indicators of the crafting method. The edges and surface appear smooth and well-polished, implying good craftsmanship in the resin work. Each resin piece has a small, circular hole drilled near the top, through which a silver-tone metal jump ring is threaded. This jump ring connects to a standard silver-tone metal fishhook ear wire, which shows a slight coil detail at its base. The overall style suggests a contemporary, casual, or bohemian aesthetic, likely produced in the modern era, perhaps in the last 5-10 years, aligning with current trends in handmade jewelry. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible. The condition appears to be new or very lightly used, with no obvious signs of wear, chips, or significant damage, beyond the minor inclusions noted.
