Circus Earrings. Fun, asymmetrical handcrafted 21k solid gold dangle drop earrings featuring gold rutilated quartz highlighted with sapphires and tourmalines. Perfect for every day. Their neutral subtle color allows easy coordination with just about any outfit. Show off your whimsical side. Feminine and playful, these earrings will surely start a conversation. The inspiration for these earrings comes from interpretive traditions of Modernist art and ancient techniques of manual jewelry making, such as granulation, fusing, metal forming, and chain weaving. These techniques were introduced by pre-Classical Sumerian, Mycenaean and Minoan cultures and built upon during Greek Classical and Hellenistic periods when naturalistic forms were introduced. My designs are influenced by the skill and the laborious attention to detail paid by the artisans throughout thousands of years of jewelry making. One-of-a-kind. Inspired by history but made for a modern lifestyle. Get them as a gift for yourself or that intelligent sophisticated strong woman in your life. Would make a great gift to your mom, daughter, wife, or a girlfriend. Due to the handmade nature of this jewelry, and individuality of the quartz, the earrings you receive will be somewhat different than the ones pictured. ---21K gold, 18k ear wires ***I always start out with pure 24k gold. By mixing it with fine silver and copper, I bring it down to 21K gold concentration. 21K gold is more durable than 22K but does not take away from a luscious 22K color. ---Rutilated Quartz ***A transparent Quartz with golden yellow Rutile inclusions that are in hairlike growths. The Rutile inclusions range from thin, sparse, and parallel, to thick, dense, and crisscrossed, and everything in-between. Each Rutilated Quartz gemstone is unique in its pattern of Rutile inclusions. ---sapphire cabochons...
