Sterling Silver Chalcedony Earrings 5.2g

Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline form of silica, composed of very fine intergrowths of quartz and moganite. It's known for its waxy luster and comes in a variety of colors, with blue chalcedony being a popular choice for jewellery. The use of chalcedony in jewellery dates back thousands of years, with examples found in ancient Roman and Greek artifacts. Modern chalcedony jewellery often incorporates sterling silver, as these metals complement the stone's cool tones. Wire-wrapping is a common technique used by contemporary jewellery artisans to add texture and visual interest to their designs.
