Earrings are mini-sculptures to me.  They are one of the most scrutinized types of jewelry, as they are so close to the face.  Thus I try to make them dynamic, interesting, but also pretty.

These earrings are made of some of my favorite gemstones -- amazonite (the blue stones), rose quartz and opal.  Although the shapes are bold, the finish and color of these stones are soft and understated. The opals are faceted and have a fiery color to them.

Rose quartz is reputed to be a powerful healing stone -- it is highly prized for its ability to evoke love, both for self and for others.  It heals the emotions and is a de-stressor. Amazonite is a stone with a lot of visualization potential. It is a healer as well, particularly of the throat and the heart -- a good stone for anyone who needs to speak her mind.  And opal is good for drawing out one's creative potential, as well as for self-expression.
