I made these earrings with a Greek, or possibly Roman, aesthetic in mind. The circle pendant is made of brass and has a leafy design like something you mind seen adorning the head of Dionysus or Apollo. Something you could see worth with a peplos or toga. Each pair of earrings uses an 18k gold plated hook - ideal for sensitive ears or if you just prefer the real metal. The gemstones vary per pair: Lapis Lazuli (associated zodiac - Sagittarius) - brings vitality, wisdom, mental endurance and creative expression. Red Jasper (associated zodiacs - Aries, Taurus) - aids new ideas, astral travel, meditation Blue Imperial Jasper - this particular stone is manmade. Usually this variety with have different colorations mixed in, but this one is clean in appearance and almost looks like green aventurine.
