Thank you dear Zandra for yet another of your beautifully made jewelry creations. Made with great care and heart. A lovely light jade tone which will be a match for any summery outfit.

Thius is a beautiful stone. I ended up adding a silver finding and a simple chain. Would definitely recommend.

I just love these earrings! They are a beautiful soft green jade set in silver that go well with casual or dress clothes. I did change out the original wires on these earrings with some longer skinnier wires that I can easily put on and take off. The other wires were too big for my ears. Unfortunately that meant losing the little silver accent at the top corner of the stone setting
