Large Faceted Gemstone Teardrop Clip Earrings

Like these almost 2 inches (50mm) long non-pierced drop earrings, much of the jewelry by New York City designer Katherine Kornblau focuses on the beauty of its gemstones. These begin with a 5/8 inch (16mm) Silver button top (oxidized to highlight its details) covering a padded paddle back clip. Below it hangs a 1 inch by 5/8 inch (25 by 16mm) semiprecious faceted gemstone teardrop of Opalescent Quartz, also called Opalescent Glass, with a clear milky color under direct light and, as it moves, an iridescence of blue, pink, yellow and other pastel shades like its namesake opal. Gift Hint: Quartz is an alternative April birthstone an alternate 70 year Anniversary stone.
