The gorgeous INCAN ROSE handmade earrings feature natural rhodochrosite gemstones, peacock pearls and sterling silver - fab wonderful gift for the woman who loves pink gemstone earrings!
The exquisitely beautiful INCAN ROSE handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who has a love for unique, natural pink gemstones! Pink rhodochrosite are the gorgeous focal of the earrings with glowing gray peacock pearls used as highlights. Found in the Andes in Peru (and a few other places in the world), rhodochrosite is a fairly rare gemstone that was sacred to the Incas. They believed that rhodochrosite is the blood of former rulers that was turned to stone. Because of that, the gemstones is sometimes called "Rosa del Inca" or "Incan Rose." As you can see in the photos, the highly polished rhodochrosite teardrops are mainly a lovely medium pink. Eye-catching natural gray and white banding run through the teardrops, a bit different on each side, causing a landscape pattern effect. The top and bottom of each teardrop is capped with small sterling silver daisy spacers. To perfectly complement the colors of the rhodochrosite, two gray button pearls (flat on one side) were stacked above the teardrops. The pearls have a glorious, color-shifting peacock effect depending on the angle of the light. A single sterling silver bead caps the top of the pearl stack. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique INCAN ROSE gemstone earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind artisan jewelry with a fascinating story.
The stunning pink rhodochrosite teardrops have natural gray and white lines running through it, creating a landscape look.
