The Story & The Find
These artisan-wrought earrings feature a genuinely rare find: a highly localized, long-defunct variety of Chinese Red Dendritic Jasper sourced from the historic Owyhee Mountain region. Celebrated by old-stock collectors but nearly impossible to source today, this specific material yields a jaw-dropping, saturated cherry-red hue paired with a dense, glass-like composition that polishes to an exceptional, mirror-like luster.
Artisan Design & Architecture
- Geometric Window Setting: The upper square posts feature a brutalist-inspired four-quadrant mosaic grid, flush-set with individually cut and polished cherry jasper tiles.
- Articulated Drop Charms: Suspended seamlessly below each grid is an elegant, bezel-set oval jasper drop that captures light and creates beautiful fluid movement.
-
Substantial Silver Build: Hand-wrought with heavy-gauge
.925sterling silver backing, balancing a substantial, high-quality total weight of 14 grams without straining the ears. - High-Gloss Finish: The natural hardness of this vintage old-stock jasper allows it to hold an intensely reflective shine that beautifully contrasts against the cool tones of polished silver.
