Here is a description of the pieces I am offering:

"Madrid" Earrings with Turquoise and Sterling Silver (bottom right)

Turquoise, the gemstone of the Southwest, a perfect accompaniment to a night at the Opera in the high desert of Santa Fe, lightning lights up the sky in the far distance through the the open porticos, thunder claps, the orchestra starts and the lights go down . . . also perfect if you're going for a day of shopping at the funky artist town, Madrid, New Mexico where Jim Morrison was rumored to spend time . . .  For these stylish Earrings, I've used natural Turquoise Briolettes Wire-Wrapped in Sterling Silver woven with delicate Natural Turquoise Heishi Beads.

"Abundance" Moonstone Earrings with Sterling Silver (bottom left) Romantic, elegant, classic, versatile . . . such pretty Earrings, they have clean lines and classic colors, very versatile indeed! For these Earrings, I feature Faceted Moonstone Briolette Gemstones combined with seamless Sterling Silver Beads lovingly over-wrapped in Sterling Silver Wire. 

"Inner Mystic" African Amethyst Earrings with Sterling Silver (top left) Beautiful Deep Purple African Amethyst Faceted Onion Briolettes pair with Sterling Silver to make these timeless, classic Earrings. The color is a lovely saturated purple, which is so very intimate and lush and the setting is very delicate and feminine. There's a certain very unique and alluring quality to this sweet combination. The Earrings are lovingly over-wrapped in Sterling Silver. 

"Santa Rosa" Pink Topaz Gemstone earrings with Sterling Silver (top right) Like a sparkling Spring bloom . . . Very pretty and so outrageously subtle in luscious pink! For these Earrings, I have used AA Pink Topaz Faceted Pear Briolettes, which are lovingly over-wrapped in Sterling Silver. Earrings are made from very good quality Pink Topaz with a fabulous bright color and a wonderful cut. These are very delicate and beautiful Earrings indeed! 

Measurements: Gemstones measure from 7 to 9mm, Sampler Earrings range from 3/4" to 11/2" long. All findings are Sterling Silver. For all my Earrings, I have securely wired the elements together, as I make my jewelry to last-- for play, walks on the beach, for dancing, for Life!
