Earth & Sky Drops
Earth & Sky Drops
The freckles of turquoise in these earthy Nevada #8 stones reminded me of bodies of water from a high aerial view, so I loved the idea of pairing them with scintillating stars to create a juxtaposition of earth and sky. I made each star a little bit different, with no set pattern to the way they link together in order to give them a more organic vibe. Each star is dotted with a disc of 14k gold-fill at the center to add a warm glow. The turquoise has a matte finish, giving these drops a relaxed feel and a softened contrast to the shine of the silver and gold.
Materials: sterling silver, fine silver bezel, 14K gold-fill brass, Nevada #8 Turquoise
Weight: approx. 9.1 grams each - the star chains weigh approx. 3.75 grams each
Measurements: each earring is just over 4" from top to bottom; the posts are about 8.5 mm long
Hallmarked .925 and 14K GF on the backsides
All joints of the connecting rings are soldered closed
