These lovely earrings feature sterling silver rectangles with embossed hummingbirds, enhanced by rosarita hearts and Kingman black spiderweb turquoise, with small 3D sterling flowers. On one, the hummingbird appears to be alighting on the heart; on the other, the hummingbird is about to sip from the silver flower.
Rosarita is a by-product of gold smelting. When heated to high temperatures, the gold from the ore sinks to the bottom while the rest of the ore solidifies into a red rock. Rosarita was once discarded, but jewelers have discovered it as an eco-friendly alternative to red coral, which (sadly) is increasingly rare. Rosarita has a lovely high gloss.
The turquoise in these custom designed earrings is fr om the famous Kingman mine in Arizona.
Handcrafted in sterling silver with sterling ear wires. 1-1/2″ without earwires (2″ with earwires), 3/4 oz.
NOTE: Shades of rosarita and turquoise may appear different in different lighting/backgrounds and on various monitors/devices.
