Variety of stones
The key element in the earrings is a frame made of gold, on which inserts of stones such as tourmaline, onyx, moonstone, ametrine, and other elements of jewelry decor are attached. It is the stone that sets the tone for the whole product, because the attractiveness of earrings depends on the quality of stone processing. The process of choosing earrings must be approached thoughtfully. It is easy to determine the age of a woman by earrings.Some models are suitable for mature ladies and do not suit young girls at all and vice versa.
Tourmaline earrings use only the brightest crystals, often pink, raspberry and red. There are stones of blue, blue-black, green, yellow shades, which have their own trade names. The stone is interesting for its polychrome coloration, i.e. in different parts of the crystal, the color is different. Earrings with inserts of chameleonite look interesting - a variety of tourmaline with an olive color in the daytime and reddish in the evening light.
Onyx earrings are traditionally geometric. The black color serves as a contrasting background for the golden tie and enhances the brilliance of cubic zirkonia. Products from this stone look democratic and stylish, so they can be combined with different clothes.
Earrings with moonstone inserts require careful handling. The stone is fragile due to the unusual structure of the crystals, which gives it a mystical bluish volumetric radiance. The stone itself is inexpensive, but set in gold, it becomes an exclusive decoration. Earrings with a cat's eye moonstone are often bought by young mothers for their children as protection from the evil eye.
Gold earrings with ametrines will undoubtedly draw attention to their owner and at the same time will be appropriate even in a strict business suit. The ametrine crystal, like a puzzle, is assembled from amethyst and citrine of various shapes and sizes. The baguette cut is not only a tribute to the fashionable vintage style, but also a way to emphasize the unique optical properties of this stone.
