Our extremely eye-catching earring design was born of a love of unusual combinations. Radiant faceted smoky quartz stones, shimmering pearls, and naturally gleaming pyrite clusters are hand-set and joined in brass settings. Dangling long brass beads add extra finesse. Unexpected Luxuries: A unique collection of event-worthy pieces hand-crafted by artisans applying time-honored jewelry-making traditions. Hand-cut and polished semi-precious stones, lustrous pearls, and gleaming pyrite take center stage in these distinctive designs. Smoky Quartz: Smoky quartz is a crystalline quartz that takes on its smoky brown color from granite deposits within other rock and mineral formations. The moody-looking stone has a mythical history; it was associated with the ancient Greek goddess Hecate, the goddess of magic, and popularized in jewelry-making by Queen Victoria in the 19th century.
