The wonderful mauve brown and tan colors of these mirrored Wonderstone cabochons made me think of fall and the turning of leaves. The stones are set in sterling silver, with a stamped and hand cut copper leaf dangling below each one. The copper is slightly antiqued and polished to bring out the stamped design. An autumn tree is cut out behind each stone. The ear wires are sterling silver.
SIZE: These earrings hang just a bit longer than 2 1/2 inches. They are about 3/4 inches wide at the widest part. Each earring weighs about 5 grams.
MATERIALS: Wonderstone, Sterling silver
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from various sources): Wonderstone is a type of jasper; the various minerals that make it up cause the striping and colors. It is said to help enhance imagination and creativity, as well as contributing to a more relaxed state of being.
