Chloe
Gemmy hoops in beautiful autumn hues.
Making these earrings was a real challenge for me! But, now a I know... these are my favorites...
Hand-formed and hammered “Chloe” hoops of 14 K gold filled wire are coiled and embellished with citrine rondelles. At the center of each radial pattern is a small ring from which hangs an assortment of brilliant gems in soothing hues of autumn, all swinging from hand coiled 14 K gold filled ropes. The central gem is spectacular AAA luxe golden rutilated quartz. It is joined by a marquise sunny citrine briolette wrapped with a rhodolite garnet rondelle and a deep honey topaz briolette. Posed above the hanging gems is a petite sunny citrine briolette accented by a single rhodolite garnet.
