This listing is for one pair of birthstone earrings. Hand-selected beautiful raw birthstone crystals have been set with a sterling silver ear post and ear nut. Choose from three different metals: copper, silver-plate, or gold-plate.
The sizes of the stones range from 4mm-14mm. Understand each stone will be different and unique, just like mother nature made them, no two will be alike.
please note- moonstone is not a raw stone. We use a cabochon instead but each is still one of a kind.

Electroforming is the process of building up copper deposits on any object. The process can be very slow and it almost has a mind of its own. Sometimes there are striations in the copper, sometimes pits, sometimes there are little copper spheres. The results are always beautiful and unexpected making each piece entirely unique. Each piece had been cleaned up by hand and finished in the tumbler. The copper is absolutely raw... no added chemicals or sealants.
To maintain the finish as long as possible, avoid prolonged exposure to water as well as harsh chemicals. The copper will oxidize and darken over time giving it a warm deep finish. This is natural and every oxidation is unique to the person who wears it and the environment in which they live. The copper grows with you. You can bring back the original sheen by gently rubbing it with a soft polish cloth. Greening may happen. It doesn't happen to everyone. I leave the metals raw to avoid causing any reactions to additional chemicals. Gold-plate will not tarnish. The fine silver plate can tarnish, but with care the finish should last a long time.
