handcrafted

I purchased this necklace (and matching earrings) as a gift for myself after graduating. The school colors were red and black and this was perfect. The necklace and earrings are beautiful, all the elements are well made flawless. I always receive compliments when wearing them.

Wow! These are very nice quality earrings & I have many pairs from this artist so that should not have been a surprise. But I was not sure of the color & quality of the stones in hand, as opposed to my computer monitor. I was hoping the smoky quartz had more of a brown tinge than gray & I was not disappointed. I thought the onyx stones on the chain were a golden yellow, but they are actually more orange, which is fine. The smoky quartz stones are perfectly cut, clear & matched for size. While the smoky quartz will blend into the color of my hair, the sparkle of the large faceted stones will be noticeable. Also, the orange onyx should stand out against the gold vermeil. These earrings are candidates for using the inexpensive & wider plastic backs that provide more support for both the earrings & ear lobes. I do not wear heavy earrings & I would definitely not put these into that class. This style comes in several other colored stone choices & I plan to order another.

The artist has made earrings that I've been looking for. 11 cwts is a good size. Most the time the stones are two small in other earrings.
