Opal and Tourmaline Sterling Silver Earrings
with a rich blast of Autumn colors
in a Vining Branch design (also reminds me of an inverted tree of life)
Black Rhodium and White Gold plated
Earrings are over 2" long including the closure
(latch back style closure design)
note: Tourmalines bring the world of jewelry an array of color hues unmatched by most other gemstones. They grow in an environment rich in liquids, and some of those liquids are often captured as inclusions during crystal growth. This means that the interior of a tourmaline gemstone can sometimes have visible, though subdued, markings within the stone. A few of the tourmaline in these earrings do have modest inclusions.
One pink tourmaline has deals somewhat more visible inclusions though they still do not draw your attention. Additionally, one of the orange tourmaline has a very small nick on its face that is difficult to see. The earrings are beautiful in spite of their imperfections, but I have reduced the price accordingly.
Rhodium is a precious metal, rarer and more valuable than gold. I love the bold, passionate coloring it brings to Sterling Silver jewelry so you will find that many of my pieces feature it. (occasionally you might see Black Rhodium plated Sterling referred to as "Blackened" Silver due to its deep charcoal coloring)
