Stone drop earrings are a life long investment. They never go out of style and they offer just the right amount of color.

How often have we missed the meaning of a conversation, and it starts to play out like a Seinfeld moment? I was in the mood to hear something else when it came to hoops. I have been wearing a pair of these for a while now, and what I hear is how much people like them. I’ve never worn them without someone noticing them. Hanging from sterling French hooks, these copper hoops are heat patinated to give them wonderful coloration. And because the copper isn’t directly in contact with your skin, no need to worry about a green neck.
Prime
Example Earrings

Size: 1inch long x ¾ inch wide,
(25mm x 20mm)
Materials: Turquoise, sterling silver
Price: $125.
The
more I listen to conversations about math and it’s
elegance the more I admit to being confused. I always
though that numbers were a black and white issue. But
a segment on the NPR where they discussed the ambiguity
of prime numbers caught my attention. These earrings are
decidedly not ambiguous. They are wonderfully eye-catching,
with each turquoise set as individual as you are. Worn
with your fall browns and greens, they add a brilliance
that says fall colors. If you want to select your own
stones, I can email you possible pairings.

(12mm x 32mm)

brass

It’s
fitting that I finished these with a half moon in the sky,
accompanied by a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. I’ve
been more aware of the moon as days get inevitably shorter,
marveling at the sweet mystery it imparts even in an environment
where too often there are so many brighter lights distracting
us. Here are three versions of this lunar earring, but like
the phases of the moon, these all follow a theme, but no
two are alike. All have a richly patinated surface and hang
from French wires. A wealth of visual information and texture
belie their size.

Summertime
is always a good time for wearing turquoise, and these earrings
have summer written all over them. They’re small and
lightweight so they go everywhere. And the French wire is
secured by a hook closure, so you will be sure to have them
after an evening of dancing, or an afternoon of removing
your bike helmet every time you come to another garage sale.
Fabricated of sterling silver and Chinese turquoise, these
are sure to be one of your perennial favorites. All stones
vary, of course! If you have a preference that leans more
towards blue or green, let me know.
