N°48 Mother's Day 2024 Special Set

In this set, I juxtaposed stunning raw Aquamarine with a luscious amount of faceted Onyx, interspersed with Blue Owyhee Opal and Agates. The pendant is a mix of raw Aquamarine and one faceted Quartz, all set into a silver-plated base.  

You have not come across the opaque milky yet glossy blue & black of Owyhee Opal ? So let me introduce you to  this intriguing type of Opal which you may have never come across before - Owyhee Blue Opal. These gemstones have only recently (2003) been discovered near the sacred Indian springs of Owyhee in Oregon. Its colour palette ranges from rich sky blue to black and translucent (depending on the level of oxidation) and it is regarded as the rarest form of opal.

What makes this entire set a little unusual is the pairing of Aquamarine with black, because it is almost always partnered with white pearls!

I kept the statement earrings simple because the raw Aquamarine is just so gorgeous (6.3cm long)! There is also a second pair of sleek Onyx & Aquamarine earrings, set into elegant french ear wires for when you feel like a little less.
