Pools of Light Post Earrings, Satin Finish Sterling Silver and Quartz Sphere, Crystal Pools, Art Deco Framed Port selling Hole Stud, Made to Order
This listing is for a pair of sterling silver pools of light earrings made with undrilled rock crystal quartz spheres, set in a handmade pronged cup setting.
I hand fabricate these earrings from wire and sheet, start to finish, in the style of the pools of light jewelry of the Victorian Era. It was believed that the undrilled quartz spheres held tiny spirits, which were responsible for the dancing light play inside the lucid stones.
Each earring holds a 7mm genuine and natural clear quartz sphere. I build each cup setting and custom fit it to the stone, bringing the interior to a high polish to ensure that the sphere will glow as nicely as possible. This glow will increase in certainly lighting conditions to a bright white flash, which is difficult to capture with a photograph. Four prongs hold the orb securely in place.
The frame around each stone is brought to a matte satin finish or an oxidized finish and then selectively burnished to create a concentric ring of flash to complement the soft glow of the quartz. Select the style you would like from the drop down menu.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or custom inquiries for different metal or stone combinations.
