Cushion Drop Earrings – Chalcedony (Splash 2009 Archive)

Chalcedony is usually a soft, milky stone, but cut as a checkerboard briolette it wakes up: still that Wedgwood blue, now with light moving through the facets. One cushion on a wire, in a hand-hammered frame with a small swirl at the top. Easy weight, calm color, an everyday pair. Chalcedony has been associated with calm and goodwill since antiquity.
