Earrings: Chrysocolla with Swarovski Bicones and Antique Silver
Chrysocolla is an alluring, vivid blue-green color and is often mistaken for turquoise because they share many visual similarities. Legend has it that the stone was originally mined in King Solomon’s mines in Africa. The rich, vibrant blue and green colors of chrysocolla are reminiscent of looking down upon the earth’s surface from space.
This stone also has the ability to help people who are violent to become more sensitive and tolerant which is why, as an ambassador, Cleopatra wore chrysocolla jewelry everywhere she went. The stone was used for jewelry symbolizing prosperity, luck and fortitude.
