Drop earrings with post fittings incorporating semi-precious stones.

In this series, as in the French earring drops with wire hooks, I wanted to use exotic pairs of semi-precious stones but incorporate the more traditional post and butterfly fitting. I devised a number of tops in different shapes with a slightly domed profile. I then hand made ferrules, settings and additional details to suit each pair of stones.


Three examples of drop earrings with specially chosen, mirror cut, semi-precious stone drops.

These designs in mixed metals or gold use a variety of semi-precious stones, fittings are posts and butterfly backs.
