The pearls actually offer an iridescence that goes from lavender to blue, to green, to cranberry; the metal parts are antiques from the Banjara Gypsies who move between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and there is a Ch'ing Dynasty ceremonial coin.
The two ametrine beads celebrate the lavender of the iridescence. The Chalcedony Rose, with its swirls and uprisings is reminiscent of the floor of the sea, hiding treasures. The two bursts of aragonite are like the growths divers see.
The earrings measure 2 inches in length with a drop of 1 1/2 inches, and they are of Banjara metal artifacts and pearls; they are 5/8th inches wide. I have kept them short to complete the neckpiece not compete with it.
Ear wires and clasp ( a fish) top are Sterling silver.
