Lapis Lazuli & Kyanite Trickle Earrings

The light is really wintry these days, with a low sun which casts extra long shadows - not so good for taking detailed pictures of gemstones...
Here is a pair of earrings I managed to capture before the sun disappeared behind our neighbour's house yesterday: They are trickle earrings featuring faceted briolettes of glossy Lapis Lazuli with inclusions of Pyrite (fool's gold to some) and lovely, limpid Kyanite. These are set in coils of 14K Gold-Fill on fine 14K Gold-Fill chains and suspended from hand-wrought 14K Gold-Fill hooks.

Price: £34 - sold

Dainty 'trickle' earrings featuring small baroque freshwater pearls in a bronzed bordeaux shade. These are interspersed with tiny faceted rondelles of blood-orange Paparadscha Sapphires and suspended from Sterling Silver hooks.

Price: £28.

Lavender Trickles

I was quite caught up in making 'trickle' earrings today - I like the way they move and catch the light when you wear them.

This pair features faceted pear briolettes of Lavender Amethyst and small micro-faceted rondelles of Ametrine trickling down towards faceted & pointed Lavender Amethyst briolettes. These are suspended from Sterling Silver hooks.

Price: £26.

(These earrings come supplied with silicone 'nuts' to keep them securely in place when worn)

Lapis & Tanzanite Trickles

A pretty pair of 'trickle' earrings, featuring faceted onion briolettes of vibrant Lapis Lazuli and small faceted rondelles of Tanzanite trickling down from Sterling Silver hooks

Price: £28.

(These earrings come supplied with silicone 'nuts' to keep them securely in place when worn)

Golden Trickles

The first earrings I made when I started working with semi-precious gemstones were something I called 'trickle' earrings, where gemstones trickle down a fine chain.

These extra long trickles feature faceted kite briolettes of beautiful Scapolite and tiny faceted seed beads of bronze-coloured Pyrite* on ultra-fine 14K Gold-fill chains suspended from 14K Gold-fill lever-back hooks.

Price: £84.

*Pyrite is also called 'fool's gold' - you may have picked some up in your childhood and marvelled at the colour. It's lovely, and frankly not easy to come by.
