Fiori - SOLD

Bling-mix: Faceted Yellow Topaz Briolette & Faceted Tourmaline Rondells
Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled
Dimensions: Total length is a little over 4cm

Like a fresh bouquet of pretty flowers ("Fiori" is Italian for "Flowers"), this pair of ear-rings could well attract attention and compliments for the wearer.

Beautifully faceted Lemon Topaz briolettes are the highlight of this piece. The dainty cuties dance and sparkle in the light.


Accents of multi-coloured faceted Tourmaline rondells help bring out the sunshine yellow of the Topaz.

All the gold parts are 14K gold-filled -- ear posts, curvy accent and wirework.

Interesting Yellow Topaz Info: Though it was a gemstone known to the ancient Greeks (who thought it made the user invisible) and ancient Egyptians (who believed it was a mystical gem associated with the Sun God Ra), Topaz was "officially" discovered in the Middle Ages during a quest to find the "supreme yellow stone".

Today, some believe that Topaz helps with Spiritual Rejuvenation. Yellow Topaz is the birthstone for November.
