Drusy Uvarovite Earrings with Diamonds

These earrings were hand built to make sure that they hang gracefully from your ear and accommodate the unusual shape of the drusies.  The brightly polished bezel settings offer a warm contrast to the vibrant gemstones.

By examining the rear and sides of the earrings you can see the care taken by our goldsmith in crafting these jewels.  Note the thickness of the bezel sidewalls.  These help protect the gemstones and give the earrings depth.  The hand crafted ear wires assure that the earrings will hang comfortably from your ear and the gemstones will always face forward.

So what is "drusy"?  Drusy is the gemological term for a layer of small crystals which cover the surface of a host rock or "matrix".  In this case the crystals are tiny uvarovite garnets and the underlying matrix is a darker mineral called "chromite".  The tiny uvarovite crystals create the glittering, shimmering appearance and provide the rich green color.
