These one-of-a-kind phosphosiderite earrings have the feeling of brightly colored old stucco in a faraway place, where soft pink pigment has weathered and worn to reveal earthy golden tones underneath. The stones have a timeworn beauty to them, full of natural variation, texture, and color that feels both playful and ancient.
They hang below lantern-shaped embossed silver tops, where the botanical pattern adds depth and shadow against the softness of the stone. The contrast is what makes them feel so alive: pink and gold against dark oxidized silver, old-world romance with a bit of edge.
Made to be worn, cherished, and imbued with your own story.
• Natural phosphosiderite
• Oxidized sterling and fine silver. The entire piece has been hand waxed to deepen the patina and give the earrings an oiled bronze feel.
• Approximately 2" long with sterling silver posts and matching larger sterling silver clutch backs for secure fit.

Oxidized silver is created by a chemical reaction. Each oxidized piece is protected with a museum quality restorative wax. This allows for depth and shine while creating a light barrier from skin oils and other chemicals that will cause the patina to lighten more rapidly. However, even with this protective wax, you can expect that your piece of jewelry will brighten over time with wear. The darkness will hold in small crevices and areas having tool marks. Rings and necklaces that touch the skin for prolonged periods are more prone to lightening than earrings. Over time your piece will develop it’s own personality and unique patina that I hope you fall in love with. Should you ever wish to darken your piece and bring it back to its original patina, I’m happy to do this for you at no charge other than shipping or provide you with a patina kit and instructions for a nominal fee.
When you see the term recycled gold, what comes to mind? Some people imagine scraps or lower-quality metal, but the truth is: recycled gold is real gold. Just like water can be purified and reused, gold can be refined and reworked—again and again—without ever losing its value or purity. For more in depth information read my blog post.
Although this isn't an offering on my website due the continually rising shipping costs, I do try to accommodate international shipping requests. Please contact me and include your full shipping address for a quote. Insurance is required and the full amount of the piece will be noted on the customs declaration form. Please not that your country may add a duty tax and I recommend looking into this prior to purchase.
