Truly the pebbles at my feet, these pretty white nuggets were collected, polished, sorted, and drilled by me at home in Colorado. I selected stones that match more or less in size, rough shape, and color, but they are freeform. These white feldspar nuggets are triangular to roughly diamond in shape and about ¾-inch by ¾-inch in size. I fitted them into an integrated earwire of 20 gauge copper wire. The stone is secured with a flattened wire knot. The ear wire is a long fish hook style. I hammered the front drop of the earring for strength. The long back balances the chunky stones. Finally, I antiqued the copper to contrast with the white stones. Overall length is about 1 ½-inch.
