About: Each Agate Druze is hand picked based on their quality and suitable appearance. A cross section of the natural stone is cut and polished. The outer radius of each agate slice is electro plated in 16 carat gold and set in 16 k gold plated brass. Look after me: Avoid contact with water and perfume. Store away from direct sunlight and dust to avoid discoloration and brass tarnishing. Please note: Earrings are made with natural stones, therefore slight colour variations, imperfections to beads are absolutely normal.
