Seven genuine gemstones (ruby, yellow sapphire, green aventurine, blue apatite, amethyst, pink tourmaline and rainbow moonstone) form a rainbow of color on 14K gold ear threads.

I started with a 14K gold plated eyepin and then strung seven genuine gemstones on. All gemstones are high quality, micro faceted rondelles. The ear threads are 14K gold plated as well and thus hypoallergenic for those sensitive to some metals.

The gemstones used in the piece starting from the bottom are:

* Ruby - one of four precious gemstones and the birthstone of July

* Yellow Sapphire - another precious gemstone and birthstone of September

* Dark Green Aventurine - has a rich, deep green and due to it's mica content, an inner sparkle as well.

* Blue Apatite - a beautiful Caribbean sea blue and as clear as those perfect waters

* Amethyst - Long associated with royalty, amethyst is a gorgeous and rich purple tone. This semi-precious stone is the birthstone of February.

* Pink Tourmaline - said to touch the heart, this beautiful stone is also an alternative birthstone for October

* Rainbow Moonstone - features a unique inner fire of color and as it catches the light, it shifts through tones of blues and a natural iridescence.

Threader style earrings allow you to adjust how long or short you wish to wear them. The gemstones measure just about 1" in length and the total length of the threader plus gems is right around 3.5"

They're dainty and feminine. They would be a lovely gift for someone who likes rainbow colors, or who is interested in chakra healing and colors.

They would also be a very special gift for a young woman who may not want or need a large pair of earrings but for whom a pair of sterling silver gemstone earrings would be a special gift. It could be a pair of "grown up" jewelry all her own.

I only have the one pair of these at this time as I put them together with the extra gems leftover after other projects. To individually purchase this many stones to make a pair would be quite expensive so this is a great way to get some high quality gems in a lovely little, affordable package.
