Rustic charm with a touch of easy femininity. Edgy lepidolite tubes are stacked with rich rubies and playful olivine jade and dangle below hand forged silver hoops. Dainty yet substantial. Handmade Shepherd hook earwires. Measure about 1 3/4”. Sterling silver, which has been oxidized and hand polished for an antique finish.

About Olivine Jade:  Olivine Jade is somewhat translucent and color ranges from a light olive to a deep forest green.  Both beautiful and durable, jade has been used since prehistoric times for its ornamental and practical qualities.  Since at least 2950 BC, jade has been treasured in China as the royal gemstone, yu. The word yu is used in Chinese to call something precious, as in English we use gold.

About Rubies: The birthstone for July, the ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. Historically, it has symbolized love and passion, considered an aid to firm friendship, and believed to ensure beauty. It can range in color from purplish or bluish red to a yellowish red, but the finest color is a vivid, almost pure spectral red with a very faint undertone of blue. The ruby is a very brilliant stone and is also a very hard, durable, and wearable stone.

About Lepidolite: Lepidolite's name comes from two Greek words. Lepidos for "scale" and Lithos" for stone, as Lepidolite often grows in scale like plates. Lepidolite is a variety of mica. It is a stone of calm, trust, and acceptance. It has a strong relaxing, balancing and calming effect. It brings hope in dark times by lending a sense of balance and calm.

FAQ

What is this jewelry made of?

I use quality sterling silver, 14k gold fill and 14k gold.  Occasionally I throw in some bronze, copper or brass.  I use all natural gemstones, some have been treated to enhance color.

About 14k gold fill: 14K gold filled wire is a professional jewelers grade wire. Gold filled wire is not plated. It is a tube of solid 14K gold mechanically bonded to a brass or silver base. There is 100 times more gold in gold filled than in gold plate wire. This layer of gold must be a minimum of 1/20th of the total metal weight to be called gold filled. The color looks exactly like 14k gold. It is tarnish-resistant, safe for sensitive skin and unlike gold plate, it will not wear off. It is a great way to enjoy affordable gold jewelry.
