Wire wrapped in sterling silver, these artisan made earrings from Owl Hollow Studio feature beautiful blue kyanite gemstones. Each earring consists of a wire wrapped medallion of sorts with a dangling oval of luscious blue kyanite. Each hand formed and hammered sterling silver round is filled with a filigree of loops and spirals. Two small round gemstones of blue lapis from Afghanistan are set in each round. A single large oval kyanite dangles beneath the medallion. The kyanite gemstones are an elongated slender oval shape similar to a marquise. The beautiful deep denim blue kyanite is grade A with a very pearly luster and a high polish. The earrings have a drop or length of 2 1/4 inches, as measured from the top arch of the sterling silver ear wires. Backs are included.

Kyanite in its common form is an unattractrive streaky mineral most often found in shades of blue or green mixed with gray. It has many industrial uses, particularly in electronics and the ceramic industry. Gemstone grade kyanite is a much less common and the transparent material is rare. Kyanite gemstones range in appearance from translucent with a pearly luster to completely transparent. Many of the highest grade transparent blue kyanite gemstones are found in Nepal. When faceted, their deep royal blue color and appearance is like that of the world's finest Kashmir sapphires. Recently in Tanzania there has been a new find of kyanite in a bright to deep orange color.
