One of my favorite earring styles! These have so many of my favorite elements - hand-sawed arrow borders, textured sterling silver hoop with forged details, and some badass curb chain. Desert Bloom Variscite is found in the same arid Southwestern region as turquoise, but much more rare, so often a little more costly. It is also harder on the Mohs hardness scale and has a entrancing "gemmy" quality. Lapidary is an art in itself and I was fortunate enough to find these exquisite cuts - and in a pair! The female lapidary artist that cut these, works in small batches and has the same attention to detail that I have put into the silver work creating these earrings. The black bolt of matrix running through the green waters of this stone is sublime. Notice the subtle pattern on the hoops, and the delicate cuts in the arrow. The backs of the hoops are also patterned and finished with my snake logo. Absolutely one-of-a-kind. Get them before I decide to keep them.

Care information

I love a well-worn, well-lived-in piece, but some care should be taken to protect the Earth made stone in your jewelry.

  • remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising
  • avoid submerging in water
  • keep free from chemicals, abrasives, pressure and high heat
  • avoid ultrasonic cleaners
  • slow the tarnishing of silver by keeping it in an air tight place
  • polish silver, when desired, with a Sunshine polishing cloth (included)
  • if needed, clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth (without submerging)
  • Ivory Creek Variscite can change color if exposed to oils, lotions or other liquids
