Red, Orange and Green drop earrings

Featuring red coral slices, faceted orange carnelian and lime green howlite, these colorful earrings have been a fun design experiment for me. Measuring 2.5" from top of hook to bottom of green drop, they are made with sterling silver components.




Among many things, I'm always considering movement when I create jewelry - how will it move or lay when you're wearing it? Will it swing freely or stiffly, rotate or remain stationery, wiggle or be rigid? These earrings rotate all around at the top, possibly revealing any side at one time; however, the green drop is secured to the faceted carnelian ring, so they swing together, not separately. $22
