the EVERGREEN collection
This collection is inspired by my memories of the majestic evergreens that have called to me throughout my life; from the white pines of Northern Michigan to the Sitka spruce of the Pacific Northwest to piñon pines of New Mexico. Evergreens stay green through all seasons of their lives. They are symbols of endurance, self-renewal, and eternal life. Malachite is a gemstone with the deepest, most lovely, varying shades of green; in my eyes, representing the idea of ‘evergreen’ flawlessly. This collection of unique Malachite stones, hand-worked sterling silver, and rare fossil specimens harkens to the longevity and resilience of the evergreens.
Chrysocolla Malachite + Pyritized Ammonite Negative 2-in-1 Silver Hook Earrings - The Evergreen Collection 2020
Chrysocolla Malachite + Pyritized Ammonite Negative 2-in-1 Silver Hook Earrings - The Evergreen Collection 2020
Gorgeous mottled Chrysocolla Malachite stones of green and burnt umber hang from gleaming Pyritized Ammonite Negatives to construct stunning statement earrings reminiscent of a most fashionable clock pendulum.
The rare “fossils” are not fossils at all, but actually ancient imprints of the place where an ammonite shell once rested. This fossil footprint was then permeated with the mineral pyrite - gifting us with these flashy metallic impressions of where the ammonites once rested in the mud. The more you know!
These extraordinary specimens of sea and earth pair beautifully to form statement earrings that will never go unnoticed! But if that is not quite enough to win you over, these stunners are 2-in-1 earrings; meaning the gemstone stick dangles can be removed and the sweet little mineral covered Ammonite Negative beauties can hook into your lobes solo! Oh, the delightfulness that is versatility!
