  • Our extremely eye-catching earring design was born of a love of unusual combinations. Radiant faceted smoky quartz stones, shimmering pearls, and naturally gleaming pyrite clusters are hand-set and joined in brass settings. Dangling long brass beads add extra finesse.
  • Unexpected Luxuries: A unique collection of event-worthy pieces hand-crafted by artisans applying time-honored jewelry-making traditions. Hand-cut and polished semi-precious stones, lustrous pearls, and gleaming pyrite take center stage in these distinctive designs.
  • Smoky Quartz: Smoky quartz is a crystalline quartz that takes on its smoky brown color from granite deposits within other rock and mineral formations. The moody-looking stone has a mythical history; it was associated with the ancient Greek goddess Hecate, the goddess of magic, and popularized in jewelry-making by Queen Victoria in the 19th century.

  • How to care for your jewelry:
  • Jewelry made of brass and silver will naturally oxidizes over time, developing a beautiful patina that some collectors prize. To restore your jewelry piece's original shine, start by cleaning with a soft cloth. You can also polish using a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and vinegar, combined with enough baking soda to form a paste. An alternate cleaning option is to use opaque toothpaste and a soft toothbrush.
  • With either cleaning solution, rinse the paste off, dry your jewelry immediately. Do not use cleaning solutions directly on any stones on your jewelry. Never use bleach, ammonia, alcohol or acetone to clean your jewelry. When wearing brass or silver jewelry directly on the skin, normal oxidation can result in a temporary, non-toxic skin discoloration that is easily washed off with soap and water.
  • Further notes: When not wearing your jewelry, it is best to store it in a cool, dry place or in small bags to minimize exposure to oxidation-causing air and humidity.
