Lemon Drops

Sparkling Oro Verde quartz are the players in this sparkling pair---Beautiful Gems! These are one of my simpler designs for those who like coiled wire jewelry without all the frills.

 

The frames of each earring were shaped, soldered, and hammered for strength, and then coiled with fine-gauge wire. The faceted, top quality, Oro verde quartz briolettes were secured the the frame and then wrapped tightly with wire to create a "cap" over the top of each.

 

They hang ever so gracefully from a pair of handmade and secure ear-wires. Each one has a stamped Hill Tribe bead for a little extra somthin.

 

All metal components are sterling silver. They have been oxidized to compliment the stones and to highlight the wire design.

 

Measurement: 2 1/4 inches from the tops of ear-wires

 

Weight: 3 grams per earring
