These mixed-gem earrings are made from semi-precious stones and sterling silver. The drop below the earwire is around 4cm (just over 1½ inches). The combination of howlite starfish and small gemstone chips mean these earrings weigh less than 4g (average 2g per earring). The photo of the scales shows a mixed pair for illustrative purposes only.

The little howlite starfish remind you not to rely wholly on logic, but to use all your senses as a guide. Being a celestial symbol, they mean cosmic energy is reflected on earth and that manifestation really does work!

The red starfish have been teamed with carnelian, a stone of ambition and drive which is very helpful in making choices and decisions. Its stabilising qualities restore vitality and motivation, stimulating creativity, curiosity and inquisitiveness. In doing so it activates and energises personal power, revealing or discovering hidden talents. Carnelian protects the wearer from negative emotions such as resentment, rage and envy, replacing them with a love for life. It helps banish sorrow and is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind.

The earrings come in a gift bag that includes the descriptive enclosure (photographed) which tells the new owner of this one-off jewellery all about its qualities. A complementary polishing cloth is also included.
