Watermelon Tourmaline and White Topaz Sterling Silver Drop Earrings

This pair of drop earrings features a sophisticated combination of natural gemstones set in sterling silver. Each earring is composed of several tiered elements: at the top, small faceted pink spinel beads provide a vibrant pop of color. These are followed by a rectangular polished tourmaline bead and a large, organic-shaped slice of watermelon tourmaline. The tourmaline slices exhibit characteristic natural zoning, with darker exterior rims transitioning to softer interior hues. The bottom of each earring is finished with a cluster of pink spinel beads and a clear, faceted white topaz drop. The metal components, including the lever-back ear wires and the delicate internal wiring, are crafted from 925 sterling silver. The craftsmanship leans toward an artisan or 'boho-chic' style, emphasizing the raw, organic beauty of the mineral inclusions and the natural shapes of the tourmaline slices. In terms of condition, the gemstones appear well-matched in pairs, though they maintain the natural surface irregularities and internal inclusions typical of tourmaline. The silver shows a light patina consistent with contemporary artisan jewelry. The overall construction is modular and suggests a handmade origin from the late 20th or early 21st century.
