Solid 9 Karat Yellow Gold and Aquamarine 'Solo' Long Earrings These gorgeous minimalist drop earrings combine delightful pastel-blue aquamarine spheres with our long solid 9-karat yellow gold twisted ear wires. The 8mm round spheres of natural aquamarine gently dangle on their 9 karat yellow gold ear wires with twisted detailing. Carefree pieces to wear year-round. Fun fact: Aquamarine is the blue variety of Beryl and is the March birthstone. Each sphere 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. Lore: Aquamarine is named for the Latin “aqua” (water) and “marina” (of the sea) in reference to its pale blue colour. It was said to be a mermaid’s treasure and a talisman for seafarers. Lightweight and comfortable to wear these super versatile aquamarine earrings will easily go from casual daywear to elegant evening wear. They are sure to be a perfect fit with any outfit in your wardrobe. Metaphysical properties: Aquamarine gives off a gentle and compassionate energy and is also embraced as a stone of courage and empowerment. It brings a quiet resilience and no matter the battles you face in life, this stone can help you remain strong and calm through it all. Wear these earrings on their own or pair them with our matching necklaces and bracelet. These elegant and fashionable earrings are wonderful as a gift for someone you love, or for yourself.
