These earrings exude immense character as manifested in these voluptuous copper rutilated quartz briolettes with obvious darting rutiles of dark, light browns and ochre. The briolettes are framed by cascading tendrils of Oregon sunstone with bright glittery orange schiller, dotted with accents of petite silky saltwater pearls and orange-to-red Padparadscha sapphires. A pear briolette of sparkling sunstone peeks from beneath the clusters and finally slender tear drop ear wires in sterling silver complete the piece.

The earrings measure approximately 1.6 inches (4 cm) from the top of ear wires. All gems are AAA grade.

About rutilated quartz:
Rutile is a major ore of titanium, a metal mined to make alloys for aerospace and industrial uses. It often forms thin, long, needle-like inclusions within quartz and results in what is known as "rutilated quartz". The rutile formations are generally red in color and no two stones are ever exactly alike.

Rutilated quartz has been said to cleanse and energise the aura drawing off negative energy and releasing energy blockages. It helps those suffering from depression, loneliness, guilt, fears, phobias and anxiety and is also said to attract love and bring stability to relationships.
