This is a pair of 18k yellow gold and oxidized silver Crownwork® finial and jasper drop earrings on our 18k spring gold wire hooks, they are high tensile, easy to get on and off and help the earring hang directly underneath the earlobe. The design inspiration for the finials are the Moores in Spain, they are Ray’s translation of the columns in the Alhambra Palace. Its an old world design that fits our jewelry perfectly and is used in many configurations throughout the collection.
The combination of 18k Yellow Gold and the Oxidized silver provides a beautiful visual contrast between the metals, we high polish the oxidized silver to a rich saturated color for a super luxurious look .All of the gold we use is certified eco-responsible, recycled metal. Unlike mining, where approximately 20 tons of waste is generated to produce just one ounce of gold, refining precious metals has virtually no waste and is much better for the earth.
Jasper is an opaque, fine-grained variety of chalcedony quartz, its name comes from the latin word for the gem iaspis, which simply mean spotted stone and suits this speckled beauty perfectly. Jasper is a powerful healing stone that gives a sense of well-being.
