I was thinking of a cherished summer spent in the Aegean when I crafted these earrings, and the beautiful artisan jewelry I bought in the Monastiraki bazaar in Athens and throughout the islands.

They are designed in a style that was widely used in the ancient and early Medieval world: Greek, Roman and ...

Artisan Jewelry:Earrings:Turquoise:Ancient/Medieval Style:Chandelier Earrings:Sterling Vermeil
I was blessed with the opportunity to spend a summer in Greece and Turkey when I was in college, and the memories of the colors - especially the remarkable quality of light that is characteristic of these places - have stayed with me for a lifetime. The whites and deep blues of the houses, the extraordinary intense blue of the skies, and the honey-gold marbles of the ancient temples overlooking the sea reflect the exact colors of Nature in this glorious part of the world. I was thinking of that ...

These graceful earrings feature teardrop briolettes of very fine quality Chinese turquoise (almost certainly stabilized) in 10mm. briolettes. These are ...
