Sterling Rainbow Gemstone Earrings - Iolite, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Coral, White Pearl, Tourmaline, Onyx, Tsavorite, Aventurine

I put every colour of the rainbow that gemstones can provide on these solid 925 sterling silver earrings. For the reds/oranges/yellow, coral, ruby, tourmaline and peach aventurine were used. For greens, tourmaline, emerald, tsavorite garnet and green onyx were used, and for blue/indigo, sapphire and iolite. Above these is a beautiful 0.8cm white pearl surrounded by raw yellow brass at either end. The earrings measure 4.3cm from top to bottom. The gemstones are all small and colourful, measuring on average about 0.3cm across.

These earrings arrive wrapped in Japanese washi paper.

If you have any questions about this item, please do not hesitate to ask :)

Note: As far as I am aware, all gemstones are genuine. Most have been sourced from Jaipur in India, an area well-known for its gemstones, and the rest from trusted beading supply stores and recycled vintage jewellery. I do not use gemstone beads that I believe to be fake, and have grown accustomed to how genuine gemstones should look/feel. The low price reflects the fact that many of them have inclusions/imperfections (e.g. The ruby/emerald/sapphire are translucent-opaque), but I prefer this, since it gives them unique qualities, and makes them more interesting to look at.
