Solid 9 Karat Yellow Gold and Tiger Eye 'Cubo' Long Earrings These earthy minimalist drop earrings combine shimmering tiger eye cubes with our long solid 9-karat yellow gold twisted ear wire. The 6mm square cubes of natural tiger eye gently dangle on their 9 karat yellow gold ear wires with twisted detailing. Carefree pieces to wear year-round. Fun fact: Tiger eye is the perfect gift for people born under the zodiac sign Gemini (22 June - 22 June) and is also suggested for a ninth anniversary. Each cube is hand-selected for colour and quality in our Dublin studio and paired with our handmade twisted ear wires in solid 9-karat yellow gold. Gemmology: Tiger eye is a variety of quartz and actually starts life as something altogether different: chrysotile - a common form of asbestos. Over time the quartz grows between the fibres eventually replacing all of the chrysotile and resulting in this gorgeous chatoyant tiger eye quartz. Lightweight and comfortable to wear these super versatile tiger eye earrings will easily go from casual daywear to elegant evening wear. Quirky and elegant they will fit perfectly with any outfit in your wardrobe. Metaphysical properties: A stone of protection, Tiger Eye may also bring good luck to the wearer. It has the power to focus the mind, promoting mental clarity, assisting us to resolve problems objectively and unclouded by emotions. Wear them on their own or pair them with one of our matching necklaces. These edgy and fashionable earrings are wonderful as a gift for someone you love, or for yourself. All my jewellery is handmade by me in my Dublin studio using traditional goldsmithing techniques. I use fair trade gold where possible and love to recycle old jewellery into a new piece to be cherished and worn. As gemmologist, I carefully select gems to delight the wearer. I work with a network of trusted small producers so I stay close to the source. Product details: Metal: 9-karat yellow gold (375) Fittings: Stud fitting with plastic stoppers Total Length: 40mm.
