Radiant Teardrop Gemstone Earrings | Hand-Hammered Brass Dangles

Handcrafted with Intention: Each piece of Em'z Blendz jewelry is hand-finished by Emily in our Medford, Oregon studio. We usually have a pair ready to ship. If they're sold out when you order, allow 1-3 weeks for Emily to make yours. The frame is hammered by hand. The stone does the rest. Each slender brass frame is hammered by hand, and the hammering is the point. Every strike leaves a small flat facet in the metal, and those facets are what make the frame flicker when you move. It stays an open outline rather than a solid setting, so light reaches the stone from every side. Inside that outline hangs a genuinely large stone: a faceted semi-precious teardrop measuring 12 by 15 millimeters, hand-wrapped into place. Big enough to read as real color from across a room. But the open frame keeps the whole earring light, about 1.5 inches in total length from the gold-plated ear wire, with an easy swing that follows you around. Then there's the choice, which is really a mood question. Amethyst carries intuition, peace, and a clear head. Yellow tiger eye is courage and staying grounded when the day won't cooperate. Rose quartz is the soft one: love, compassion, a little tenderness for yourself. Pick the stone you need, or the one you can't stop looking at. Same answer, usually. Since every stone is genuine, no two are alike. Color, markings, and transparency shift from stone to stone, so your pair is yours alone. Clear silicone nut backs come included to keep them seated through the day, and each pair arrives in a small velour pouch for safekeeping or gifting. "Hammering the brass is my favorite part of these. Every strike lands a little differently, so every frame catches light in its own way. When I wrap the stone and it swings inside the frame for the first time, that's the moment I'm working toward. I chose these three stones so you could pick what you want to carry. Some days call for rose quartz. Some days you need tiger eye and a little nerve." — Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Designer-Maker The Artistry in the Details Hammered by hand: Every strike leaves its own facet in the brass, so no two frames flicker quite the same way.
