18K Yellow Gold Crownwork® Ball Earrings with Aquadite™ Drops
Experience the artistry: all purchases come with a copy of Rays book, The Works.
These super chic earrings feature 10mm Crownwork® ball tops in 18k yellow gold paired with stunning Aquadite™ drops. Aquadite™ is a recently discovered variety of chalcedony found in Indonesia's Maluka Islands in 2022, when a bulldozer clearing a road accidentally split open a rock revealing this captivating gemstone. The name "Aquadite" blends "aqua" for its watery blue green hues with "dité," honoring Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
What makes Aquadite™ truly distinctive is its abundant "confetti" inclusions of native copper, red cuprite, blue chrysocolla, and green malachite that float throughout the translucent chalcedony matrix. These copper rich inclusions create mesmerizing patterns and natural sparkle that make each stone completely one of a kind.
Our 18k spring wire hooks ensure comfortable, secure wear throughout the day.

All the gold we use is certified eco-responsible, recycled metal and not newly mined. We endorse the sustainable process of refining this precious metal.
Refining is the process of melting down and reusing gold from pre-existing objects. This means the gold you buy from us is on a journey of its own. It may well have been an ancient Roman coin, an Egyptian charm or the hilt of a medieval sword - use your imagination!
This is not only a romantic notion but supports the circular economy and the health of our planet.
