Earring Specs: Designed to be worn in more than one way, these earrings are crafted in sterling silver and 14k gold featuring responsibly sourced gemstones donated by Columbia Gem House.
Size with earring jacket: 48mm in overall length and 13mm at the widest point
Size without earring jacket: 22mm overall length and 8mm at the widest point of the 14k gold link
Featured gemstones: Grape Garnet® set in 14k gold with 10mm Cortez Pearls®, 4x2mm Nigerian Tourmaline Baguettes, and 3mm Neon Green Beryl Triangles set in the sterling silver earring jacket.
Megan said "I chose to use mixed metals because I like the way gem colors play off the different metal colors." She intends for these to be daily wear earrings because "we all get just one life; we should enjoy the nice things."
About the Project: This project is a fundraising raffle benefiting wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and research along the Sonoran Coast of Mexico. 100% of ticket sales will be donated to CRRIFS, a non-profit that works directly with the Cortez Pearl Farm; the very same farm where the pearls you see in Megan's piece come from.
