Leland Blue Stone And Sterling Dangle Earrings

Wear a little bit of Michigan! These wonderful earrings are made with Leland Blue Stones. They're not really stones at all, but rather pieces of slag glass that have washed ashore on the beaches of Northwest Lower Michigan. Remnants of the smelting process in the 1800's, pieces of these wonderfully colored slag wash ashore and are prized by collectors. No two are ever the same, and all show unique characteristics.



Deliciously wrapped in sterling silver, the Leland Blue Stones dangle from a pair of my hand made ear wires, made in sterling silver. The sterling silver has all been given a nice patina, and then hand buffed to bring back the shine, leaving bits of the patina in the deep recesses. What a pretty look. 



The earrings are almost exactly 1 1/2 inches in length from the lobe.



These are one of a kind earrings, celebrating a one of a kind place. 



As always, my earrings will come lovingly packaged in a hand made cloth pouch, perfect for gifting or for carrying your treasures with you when you travel. Enjoy!
