Atlanta Earrings || Stacked Apatite Stones Long Drop Earring • Cairn Style • 14k Gold-Filled, Sterling Silver, German Silver, Bronze
Atlanta || Divine • Magical • Balanced
These earrings are made from stacked apatite or snowflake obsidian stones and 14k Gold-Filled, Sterling Silver, German Silver, or Brass wire. The bottom bar is lightly hammered. The Atlanta Earrings are inspired by balance and cairn style stacked stones. "Apatite" actually refers to a broad mineral group of which many types of stones belong. Some of the blue/green varieties are fluorapatite and moroxite. Snowflake Obsidian is natural volcanic glass containing inclusions of a mineral polymorph of silica called Cristobalite.
Length - 2 3/4 inches
Width - 3/8 inches
--------------------------------------
CARE AND CONSIDERATIONS
14k Gold-Filled jewelry is significantly more tarnish resistant and precious than gold-plated. Gold-filled has an actual layer of karat gold vs a thin film on gold-plated. All of The Black Walnut's gold-filled jewelry pieces are proudly 12-karat or 14-karat and meet the federal quality standards set by the FTC.
Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. The addition of copper to silver gives it a strength and durability making it perfect for everyday wear. If you have metal allergy that does not allow you to wear sterling silver, I usually have fine silver (99.9% pure silver) available. Please contact me directly. :)
Untreated brass (copper alloy #230) will patina quickly for a more rugged look. If you want the brass to stay as shiny as possible, avoid getting your earrings wet and polish often.
Apatite is a tough stone but because of it's low hardness (5) it scratches easily. I recommend storing your apatite jewelry separately from your other stone pieces.
Polish your jewelry with a soft cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals to clean. Be sure to store in a dry place. Each piece is designed by The Black Walnut Studio in Greensboro North Carolina. Designs are handmade and may vary slightly with each order.
