These gemstone earrings are made from semi-precious stones, glass hearts and sterling silver. The drop below the earwire is around 3cm (about 1¼ inches). They weigh just 2.74g (average 1.37g per earring).

Hearts are, of course, a traditional symbol of love. These dainty pressed glass heart beads have been teamed with black onyx. Black onyx is regarded as a magical stone, mainly because of its grounding, centering qualities which enhance the channelling of energies. These attributes can be used at times of great stress or personal transformations with onyx assisting the owner to achieve their goals. It is useful in banishing grief, enhancing self-control, promoting courage and strength and assisting decision making and positive action. Black stones offer excellent protection from negativity.

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.
