To suggest wild violets growing in the woods, I chose nicely faceted amethyst rounds. They catch the light well and "rule" the earrings with color. Accompanying them are pairs of malachite, which give us the hue of fertility and forest growth. These are genuine malachite beads, not the fake malachite that is so common these days. They have nice color variegation for beads so small, and although each one is naturally different, they go together well.
This lovely pair of long boho dangles also includes: sterling silver round beads (made in USA), sterling silver earring wires ornamented (by me) with sterling beads, and ear guards, to help keep the earrings more secure on your ears. The length of the leaf drops is about 7/8th of an inch. The length of the earrings, including the earring hooks, is approximately 2.25 inches.
Please see my photos for a measurement picture showing the earrings alongside a ruler. A penny is included for further comparative sizing.
These leafy charm earrings with amethyst and malachite join my line of unique bohemian jewelry for women. They were handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for their destined owner. They will arrive on a PrettyGonzo jewelry card and in a nice organza bag, all wrapped up and ready for gifting to a lover of nature and woodland pleasures—perhaps yourself!
ABOUT AMETHYST
A member of the quartz family, amethyst is traditionally considered a protective, talismanic stone. The name amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethusos," which means "not drunk." The gemstone is associated with the crown chakra, and is the birthstone for February. Amethysts are actually crystals and often have inclusions, clouding, and other interesting elements to them, as well as various shadings of their distinctive purple color.
ABOUT MALACHITE
This gemstone, as the other two, has been treasured and used for jewelry since ancient times. It was especially valued in Greece, Rome, and Egypt. It also ornamented amulets and statues, and was even ground into powder for use as eye shadow. Malachite's name may have come from the Greek "malache," which means mallow (a green plant). This mineral was also popular in medieval times as a talisman to protect its wearer against the evil eye. Perhaps malachite has attracted so much attention over the ages because of its green coloration, which always varies and suggests nature and growth. Currently there are many relatively inexpensive faux and synthetic forms of malachite on the market. I am a stickler for authentic malachite, and pay what I must pay for the genuine gemstone.
