Rella Earrings || Tree Agate Stones • 14k Gold-Filled, Sterling Silver
Rella || Not your typical drop
These earrings are made with Tree Agate stones and 14k Gold-Filled or Sterling Silver.
Agate is a common rock formation, consisting of chalcedony and quartz. Tree Agate or "dendritic" agate has dendrite inclusions of moss colored green minerals. Tree Agate is an unusual agate as it is usually opaque white and doesn't have the banding usually common in chalcedonies that are named "agate".
Dendritic inclusions are usually fern, tree or branch like. It is named dendritic or dendrites from dendron, which means "branch like" in Greek. Dendrite inclusions are formed due to the presence of manganese and iron oxides.
--------------------------------------
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. :)
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.
