Artisanal Watermelon Tourmaline and Olivine Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings

A pair of contemporary, handcrafted dangle earrings featuring a striking combination of organic and faceted gemstones. Each earring is anchored by a centrally positioned, rough-cut slab of watermelon tourmaline, showcasing an inner pink core transitioning into a green rind, typical of this bi-color variety. Cascading from the tourmaline are smaller, faceted pink spinel beads and a lower, tear-drop shaped polished olivine (peridot) gemstone that provides a soft yellow-green contrast. The assembly utilizes sterling silver wire-wrapping techniques, visible in the decorative coils and findings, which secure the stones in a tiered, vertical arrangement. The earrings are suspended from polished sterling silver lever-back clasps, ensuring secure wear. Overall construction displays a bohemian or 'earthy' aesthetic, with the irregular shapes of the natural tourmaline slices serving as unique focal points. The stones appear to be in excellent condition with no visible chips or fractures beyond the stones' natural inclusions. While no maker's mark is explicitly visible in the image, the intricate wire-work suggests artisanal studio production from the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality of materials, including the clarity of the olivine and the distinct zoning of the tourmaline, indicates a high level of craftsmanship for designer-made jewelry.
