Dendritic Jasper Teardrop Earrings, Onyx Gemstone Handmade Jewelry Gift

The exquisite "Elemental" gemstone earrings feature dendritic jasper teardrops, black onyx and sterling silver - unique jewelry for women.

With its exquisite fern-like inclusions, the ELEMENTAL handmade earrings are truly one of a kind eye catching beauties. Jewelry for the woman who loves natural gemstones, the earrings feature dendritic jasper in a teardrop shape, faceted black onyx and sterling silver. Jasper has had ancient ties to mankind for at least 10,000 years, a favorite stone used for carvings, in mosaics and inlays and as jewelry. Jasper comes in many different colors, some with the added beauty of a landscape or fern design. The unique dendritic jasper used as the main focal of the earrings has a creamy background with bits of rusty brown. But what absolutely catches the eye is the fern-like dendrites caused by magnesite filling micro cracks when the stone was forming billions of years ago (jasper is one of the oldest stones on earth). Just look at the gorgeous, feathery design! Even better, the teardrop gemstones are two-sided so the earrings are lovely from any angle. A small sterling silver daisy spacer was placed over the drill hole to add even more beauty.  Because the dendritic jasper is so gorgeous on its own, black onyx rondelles were used as a simple complement above the teardrops. Since the black onyx beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to a graceful design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ELEMENTAL dendritic jasper earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, natural gemstone jewelry.

The eye catching teardrops were created from dendritic jasper with natural fern like inclusions.
