Chrysoprase Diamond Yellow Gold Drop Earrings

Chrysoprase and diamond 18k gold drop earrings circa 1990. *

Chrysoprase is a beautiful stone with a pleasant green color that resembles jade. Sadly, it is underutilized and unappreciated.  Not many people know about it.  In that way it is exotic.  It is often called Australian Jade because a large majority of the supply comes from down under.  These earrings feature stones that have been carefully matched for color and make.  In the surmounts, tiny little round diamonds add an unexpected sparkle.  The bottoms have been assembled to provide playful movement.  These earrings are a perfect accessory for any daytime casual outfit or an evening out in the town.
