These show-stopper earrings started with the large oval green Aventurines. They deserved a setting that would display the gorgeous color and translucence of the stones, so they are held in minimalist blackened silver frames and prongs with 14k gold talons.
I paired them with unique oval Paraiba quartz with Gilalite cabochons, clear but for the blue and brown inclusions of Gilalite-a form of copper silicate-bisecting the stones. Set in 14k gold and blackened silver, these unusual stones have an open back so the light shines through. These statement earrings are large but light-weight, weighing 6.8 grams apiece.
