"Lava flow" earrings



These "earthy" and "rocky" earrings are created with watermelon tourmaline, iolite and polished labradorite briolettes woven with a 14 karat gold filled wire. Below dangle microfaceted black spinel teardrops connected to woven gemstones with black Tahitian pearls. I've added a little sparkle to accent these bright stones - clusters of mystic black spinel rondelles on vermeil headpins and tiny ones, dangling on gold filled chain.
