The stones featured in these earrings are a lovely combination of rusty red and soft, mossy gray-green. Because they are natural stones, they each have their own patterns. I used copper wires, beads and bead caps. The ear wires are Niobium, which is considered one of the least allergenic metals.
SIZE: These earrings hang about 1 1/2 inches. Each earring weighs about 1 gram. Each stone bead measures about 12x8x5mm (approximately 1/2 x 3/8 x 1/8 inches).
MATERIALS: Flame Jasper, Copper, Niobium ear wires
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from various sources): Jasper is considered to be the "supreme nurturer." It is said to bring tranquility and wholeness, especially in times of stress as well as provide courage and stimulate the imagination.
