Lake Superior Agate Earrings in Handmade Silver Settings

This pair of Lake Superior agate sterling earrings feature beautiful stones I cut from a Minnesota found Lake Superior Agate. It's nicely banded and light brown in color. The dendrites within this agate are copper in places as I could see tiny specks of copper as I cut and polished the agate these stones came from. The agate was about the size of a ping pong ball. I use recycled silver in my designs. The stones are domed rounds. I added a couple different types of texture to the front of the settings for this pair. The ear wires are also handmade by me using argentium sterling silver wires. The agates are about 11 mm across. The settings are about 22 mm tall overall. These would make a great gift!

In the global market we encourage you to shop local by supporting artists and small businesses who cut stones safely and ethically within the U.S.A. All of our stones and fordite are made by us, within our home, in Wisconsin.

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) may have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures.We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist. We are a legitimate small business licensed as an LLC in Wisconsin. Our business mission is to create happiness through our art.
