(RESERVED for Camille) Faceted Rose Quartz Drop Ear Weights
Two milky, translucent Rose Quartz “pineapple” teardrops are set in pure electroformed copper, and hung on brass lobster clasps to create this unique pair of earweights. The metals are antiqued and polished. These are freeform cut and polished crystal points, and while they are hand-selected to create roughly matched pairs, they are not identical, and each have unique characteristics.
To be worn through tunnel or eyelet jewelry in stretched lobes 2g or larger. Not for unhealed or freshly stretched bare lobes. Wear in fully healed bare lobes 0g or larger only.
They measure 3” from the top of the hook to the point, and the drop itself measures 1 7/8” from the top of the bail. They are about 3/4” wide, and weigh just under 19 grams each. (For reference, a single alkaline AA battery weighs 23 grams)

ELECTRO MAGIC:
I create jewelry and curiosities by "growing" copper onto crystals and other organics using an alchemical hybrid process: Electroforming. In my cauldron of neon blue electrolyte solution, I brood over, coax, and observe my creations as they begin to take shape. The process takes twelve hours, up to three days, with each piece forming bumps, nodules, lines, and deep grooves along the way. Some of my pieces are darkened with a Liver of Sulfur solution and polished with oil; others are left shiny and bare. All of my pieces are left unsealed, which allows them to continue to age and oxidize, giving you a living, breathing adornment that is truly dynamic and ever-changing.
CARE FOR YOUR PIECE:
Please handle your handmade jewelry with care; avoid dropping it or inflicting heavy trauma or stress. While copper is sturdy enough for daily wear, it is a softer metal and can be misshapen under stress. Crystals and gemstones, especially in raw form, also need to be treated kindly. Avoid submersion in water and direct exposure to lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaners. These can permanently discolor some stones or tarnish the copper. To clean your jewelry, simply buff gently with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and oils. Some people with certain chemistry experience temporary discoloration of the skin when wearing copper jewelry, especially on the fingers and the back of the neck. This is the "Green Ghost" of oxidation and can be washed off the skin with soap and warm water, if you desire.
NATURAL STONES:
The crystals I use are hand-picked and inspected by me personally before I put them into jewelry. As they are natural treasures from the earth, some inclusions, fractures, pitting, mineral deposits, and other irregularities are very common. It is my belief that these imperfections add to the mystery and charm of these creations - just like us, they are flawed.
Flashes of light in stones such as Opal, Rainbow Obsidian, Rainbow Moonstone, Labradorite and others are often best observed from a certain angle or in certain light; however, I do work to orient my stones so that they will shine their brightest when worn.

All of my pieces are handcrafted by me in my home studio where I am surrounded by crystals, plants, incense, and several rescue cats. <3
