Blue Green Azurite Chrysocolla Teardrop Earrings, Handmade Sterling Silver, Dramatic Statement Cabochon Dangles

Chrysocolla rarely shows up as just one color, and these teardrop cabochons make the full case for that. Teal, blue-green, and deeper cobalt move across the surface in soft, painterly patterns, enhanced by the presence of azurite which pulls the palette toward a richer, more complex blue. Each cabochon is individually selected for the depth and movement of its color, and no two are exactly the same.

Each stone sits in a sterling silver bezel. A small textured open circle sits above each bezel, flanked by two silver spheres where the loop meets the stone. 

Hallmarked Blue Piranha and .925. Earrings measure 1¾ inches (4.5 cm) long from the top of the ear wire, and ½ inch (1.3 cm) wide. Weight is 10 grams. Set on sterling silver ear wires.

A lever back option is available, please see photos and note your preference at checkout.

Your purchase arrives gift boxed, presented in a soft pouch with a story card.

Good for: a gift for the person who collects color the way some people collect art. A birthday for the woman who wants something that doesn't look like anyone else's jewelry. Self-purchase for the collector who loves the breezy feel of the perfect beach earrings.

About Chrysocolla:

Chrysocolla is a copper-bearing mineral that forms in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, often alongside turquoise, malachite, and azurite. It gets its color from iron and shares the blue-green range with turquoise, though the two are distinct minerals. It takes a high polish and shows a wider range of color than most turquoise. When azurite is present, as it is in this pair, the palette deepens toward cobalt and indigo, adding complexity to the stone's already variable color range.
