Vermeil and Chalcedony earrings
Philippa Roberts
Earrings Hand crafted matte gold vermeil and chalcedony.
A great holiday gift idea from Environmental Realists. E1835 – gold vermeil (gold overlaid on sterling silver) and chalcedony earrings. Philippa Roberts, born into a jewelry making family, was drawn to working with metal and stones at an early age. Her love of clean lines and soft colors comes from the nature around her. This piece is a splendid representation of that love. These chalcedony earrings are slightly swingy and make a subtle statement.
