Carnelian and Agate Rectangle Earrings

Description

20 gauge 14k gold fill wire is hand formed into a long rectangle and then lightly hammered to give it strength and aesthetic appeal. Large, faceted carnelian rondelles and red agate barrels are threaded onto fine 14k gold fill wire and tightly secured within the frames. Hung on hand forged (shaped, cut, deburred, lightly hammered, and polished) 14k gold fill French earwires. Simple and clean, but with a pop of color and organic details that make them unique.

Measures ½ inch wide and 2 ½ inches long.

What is Gold Fill Wire? Gold fill wire is made by forming a tube of gold (10, 12, or 14k) and filling it with a base metal (usually brass). The gold content is 5%, or 1/20th of the total metal content of the wire. This is not the same as gold plated – gold fill contains 100 times more gold than does gold plated. Gold fill wire is strong, durable, resistant to tarnish, and should last a lifetime without showing signs of wear.

Prefer a different size? An alternate earwire? Would you like this made with different metal or gemstones? No problem! Let me know your preferences and I will custom make a similar pair to your specifications.
