You'll feel like you are in the shade of a giant tree on your mossy brick patio with these Unakite earrings. The greens in these stones vary from mossy to olive to pistachio - light and dark greens with accents of brick reds. The unique teardrop shape makes an exclamation point hanging from these Coils!
Coils Earrings are a foundation piece from my Interchangeable Jewelry Collection. You can wear these earrings alone, or with the Dangles - and then mix it up by collecting more Dangles to hang from these earrings!

About Unakite
Unakite is a true rock: a composite material made up of multiple other stones. This gives Unakite its green-moss-on-brick appearance. It's named for the Unaka Mountains in the southeastern United States where it was first discovered.
Metaphysical Properties
Metaphysically, Unakite is said to be a stone of vision, opening the third eye and useful for scrying. It is also believed to be a stone of balance, grounding the self while bringing emotions and spirituality together.
About Argentium Sterling Silver
Argentium® – The Finest Silver - is a purer version of Sterling Silver that is also highly tarnish resistant. Standard "Sterling Silver" is an alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This is why you may also see "925 Sterling Silver" for items that are Sterling Silver.
Argentium® is made with 93.5% silver and 6.5% other metals, including germanium and copper, which gives Argentium® additional beneficial properties for jewelry makers. For my jewelry, the biggest benefit of using Argentium® instead of regular Sterling Silver is that it is anti-tarnish. It is also not plated, it is 100% Argentium® Sterling Silver - so there is no worry about plating rubbing off. Argentium® Sterling Silver jewelry is always hypoallergenic.
In addition to these benefits, Argentium® is responsibly manufactured, ethically sourced, and certified to be made with 100% recycled silver.
NOTE: Argentium® Silver jewelry should never be cleaned using silver "dip" cleaners. Please either wipe with a soft cloth or use only water and mild dish soap if you need to clean your Argentium® Sterling Silver jewelry.
I have many Argentium® products - and if you see something I've made with standard Sterling Silver, it's highly likely I can make it for you using Argentium® if you would like. Just contact me to ask!
