Fire Agate, Pick Your Pair, Sterling Silver Mexican Fire Agate

Choose your pair of Mexican fire agate earrings in sterling silver. The pictures are numbered corresponding to the sets you can choose. I handcrafted both the stones and the settings for these. The stones are dark brown and each has a bit of fire within it. These are tiny stones at just under 6 mm across. The setting that holds the stone and the post/push backs are solid sterling silver (.925). The stones are held by a scalloped bezel which gives them an almost flower like look. The posts are about 10 mm long.  Fire agate must have direct sunlight to shine at it's fullest.

A word about what ethical gemstones mean with regard to these rings and my work. These stones were hand picked from the lake shore using no tools. I cut the stones in a manner that's safe for both me and the environment. You're buying the ring from the person who cut the stones and made it. Natural stones are a multi billion dollar industry in the USA. Unfortunately most stones used in jewelry or available to buy online are cut overseas often utilizing no safety practices despite industry pressure to make changes. Those big stone cutters often utilize marginalized populations paying substandard wages to work in very dangerous conditions without safety equipment. That's why those stones are so cheap! Stone cutters in some countries have a life expectancy of just 10 years and their equipment and procedures also put their families and children at risk. The stones cut in this manner are all marked "ethical" online. Here at Happy Agate Studio they truly are. See my processes on facebook!
