These simple, dainty stud earrings are so versatile, and will compliment just about any outfit! The genuine 10mm Malachite stones are hand wrapped with your choice of 22 gauge sterling silver, stainless steel or gold filled wire. The earrings will come on an earring card with sterling silver, stainless steel or 14k gold filled earring backs, and packaged in a charming box, perfect for easy gifting! Genuine Malachite is a natural patterned gemstone, so each pair of earrings is unique in swirl and linear patterns. Malachite is a mineral that naturally forms above copper deposits deep in the earth. Malachite is a soft stone, and because of this, it is often treated with a layer of resin or wax to add extra hardness and protection. All my jewelry is handmade and made with patience, care and love. If you have any questions about this item, or any other items in my shop, please feel free to contact me.
