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 green starfish have been teamed with peridot which is able to cleanse and heal. This powerful cleansing stone has a clear, fresh energy which rejuvenates the whole body and provides encouragement for renewal and a fresh start. It is said to help release burdens, guilt and obsessions and is thought to enhance confidence and assertiveness. In ancient times peridot was believed to ward off evil spirits and today it is used as a protective stone for the aura. Green is also the colour of good luck.

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.
