ONE OF ONE • ONLY 1 PAIR AVAILABLE
Triangle 2” x ¾”
Matching ring may be available for purchase on the Ring Page.
The stones in these earrings look like aerial photographs of terrain that has never been named. Two sister scenic Owyhee jasper triangles deep olive and cool grey-green across the upper surface, with warm brown horizontal banding moving through the lower portion of each stone like a distant mesa seen from above carry the landscape quality that makes scenic jaspers some of the most visually compelling material in the lapidary world. Each stone reads differently. Each one is a complete composition in its own right.
Above each stone a hammered sterling silver shield catches light with the broad, luminous surface that only hand-worked silver produces a top element that swings freely above the stone via an open circle connector, giving these earrings a two-part movement that is entirely alive. The triangular bezel below carries a full granulation ball border tiny hand-applied spheres of silver running the complete perimeter of each bezel, a detail that requires patience and skill and rewards every close look the wearer invites. High polish finish keeps the silver bright against the deep, muted tones of the stone.
At 2” total length these are statement earrings in the fullest sense long, architectural, and entirely handmade. The clip-on backs are secure and comfortable, designed for a full day of wear. For those who do not have pierced ears, these earrings make no compromises whatsoever.
