Made with rare color-change Alexandrite rhinestones, their color shifts from an icy light blue in shaded natural daylight to a luminescent lavender under incandescent lighting and in the sun. They aren't signed but I am sure they were designer made, most likely Weiss or Sherman, two designers known for using these unique color change stones. The quality is superb, certainly on par with both of those designers who often only signed one piece of a parure or used hangtags which were almost always removed. The crystal glass stones are all prong-set with layered navette stones in the center surrounded by crystal chatons.
Each earring measures approximately 1 3/8" length and 1 1/8" at the widest point. Both clips work securely, and the stones are all lively and bright with so much sparkle that my camera couldn't even begin to capture their beauty. They are foil backed in prong cup settings. It was difficult to photograph them without capturing any shadows, so please know any darker areas seen on the stones are just reflections. I can find no flaws to note with these lovely earrings.
They ship via USPS and will be wrapped with care, boxed for safe travel, and mailed within one business day ♡
