We found this Banded Thunder Egg Agate in Central Oregon at Richardson’s Ranch. Each stone is about 17mm x 12mm. They were hand carved and fabricated from scratch by Karen Britt and are hung without setting so stones can glow with all available light. The Silver-blue Cultured Pearls are 4mm, hand polished, and are from old stock purchased around 3 decades ago at Tucson Gem Show.

Top to bottom, the earring is about 30mm. The body is entirely Fine Silver and the earring loops and posts are Sterling Silver. The posts come with ‘comfort back’, barrel style holders. Each earring weighs in around 1.6 grams which is fantastically light and comfortable for stone dangle earrings. For reference, a dime weighs about 2.3 grams. Each piece is a one of a kind piece of art, because no two stones are the same and the settings are created by hand, no two pieces are the same (even the earrings). It should be mentioned that all stones are used in their natural state; never dyed or heated to change their appearance. All the metals used are either recycled or fair, humane trade verified and all components used in the jewelry will return to the earth leaving no footprint. Thank you for enjoying the art.
