Description

The long linear shape of this tear drop earring has always been the most flattering of designs.


This sleek earring is carved from agate-accented with 20 sparkling red fire opal stones - which is perfect for every season and occasion. Its exotic color compliments any outfit or event.


The pieces themselves are carved precisely to taper from small to large, are rounded at the bottom, then polished to a smooth sleek gloss. Each agate earring has 20 carefully drilled 2.00 mm circular apertures.


This process is done rather cautiously- in order not to crack the agate as well as with extreme exactitude  to assure that the rare red fire opal align and lay perfectly within its settings. Needless to say this is a very labor intensive process. The last accoutrement for this creation: 10k gold.
