Handmade by me in my Connecticut studio. The green of these vintage old-mine beads is hard to capture in the light box. They are a deep but very transparent forest green, not a blue-green, not a yellow- or brownish-green. They are *green*. Featuring wavy squiggles of hammered argentium sterling silver, these earrings make a statement whether worn for everyday or a special occasion.
Argentium sterling silver has a high pure silver content (94%, vs. 92.5% for ordinary sterling). The silver is 100% recycled. Argentium is tarnish-resistant due to a patented hypoallergenic formula. It finishes hard and is as suitable for everyday wear as platinum or white gold.
Tourmaline is one of the birthstones for October.
