These earrings are a new design, and Rhonda has made them convertible. The gemstones are wired separately, so you can easily take them off the hoop. So you can order extra pairs of gemstones and create a whole earring wardrobe, with just one pair of hoops. You can also wear the hoops plain. Rhonda is going to offer these earrings in several color choices, including the blue chalcedony shown here. You can use the form on the Contact Us Page to find out about other gemstone choices.
Argentium Silver Half-Hoop Hammered Earrings
Hoops are heavy 18-gauge Argentium Silver wire, 3/4" in diameter, with sterling silver posts and backs, totally handmade.
Argentium Silver tarnishes much slower than regular sterling silver. And when it does tarnish, it's a soft yellow color that can be easily removed with soap and water-no harsh chemicals necessary. Argentium is a little more expensive than sterling, but I believe the advantages far outweigh the extra cost.
And she has some really cool rings:
Champagne CZ Infinity Ring
Heavy gauge 14k gold-fill wire has been shaped into an abstract infinity symbol and hammered for strength and beauty. It's topped off by a highly faceted 8mm champagne cubic zirconia. Also available in sterling silver.
Peruvian Opal Ring
A gorgeous chunk of Peruvian Opal is accented with 14k gold filled wire with a slight criss cross design on top to accent the beauty of the stone. Peruvian opals have brown, white, and black mottling in them and each one is unique. Also available in Argentium Silver.
