Loren Hope Elia Drop Earrings in Aquamarine

A round aquamarine stone at the ear, a larger teardrop suspended just below — both smooth-domed cabochons held in delicate gold prongs, linked by a small gold jump ring that lets the drop move.

The stones are real semi-precious aquamarine, with the natural variation in color and clarity that comes with a mined stone. Set against 18K polished gold over brass, the blue reads pale and watery, soft rather than bright. Each pair will be slightly different from the next.

At 1 inch long, they move with the ear without overwhelming it. Surgical steel posts.
