Turquoise Picasso Jasper teardrop earrings

Teardrop shaped earrings with gorgeous marbled stones of turquoise Picasso jasper hung from a decorative headpin featuring my leaf shaped spirals in antiqued copper.

I have been dying to use these stones for a while, but just wasn't sure what to do with them, then seeing them on my bench adjacent to some copper leaf spirals waiting to be hammered, I realised that they were the same basic shape and set about bringing the two together and making a decorative feature of the 'headpin' they hang on.

The tops of the stone have been simply wrapped with a double layer of copper wire and they hang from my large classic earwires.  All cut ends have been filed smooth for your comfort and the leaf spiral is highly polished.  The earrings have been antiqued to enhance the textures.

They hang 44mm (1¾") overall from the top of the earwires and the stones are 16mm (0.63") at their widest.

Please note: that whilst these stones are natural, the turquoise colour has been dyed and the patterns and colouration will naturally vary from pair to pair.
