Irish Connemara marble earrings w/ copper leaf cap

Irish Connemara marble earrings - These pretty sage green stones are sourced from the west coast of Ireland. Mirroring the misty landscape, Connemara marble is considered to be Ireland's quintessential stone. The beads are topped with a detailed antiqued copper leaf cap and an additional copper bead. They look like wee buds or berries.

Copper has been mined in Ireland since the early bronze age, so it is the natural choice to pair with these stones. What better way to connect with the auld sod than to wear a bit of its very foundation? The dangle on these earrings is about 1.25" including handcrafted copper wires. This is the perfect size for everyday wear. My third image gives you an accurate illustration of scale.

Please note that there is some variability in the shades of green in these stones. The handiwork of Mother Nature, no two are identical.
