Learn About Bead Earrings

Here at Durango Silver Company we specialize in gemstone beaded jewelry. Bead Earrings have been in style for hundreds of years around the world, however, jewelry styles have changed dramatically over the years. Durango Silver Company has collected many different types of gemstone beads for over 40 years and have been using them to make bead earrings for decades.
