About The Artwork

Daisy pattern with finely cut deep blue turquoise stones of very high quality. Fourteen round stones serve as the "daisy" hearts. 161 long petit point stones make the petal and the body of the naja. Stamped and small silver "rain drops" edge each daisy and the naja. Earrings have screwbacks. These can be properly converted to a post back or clip on, your preference. These earrings are NOT a perfect match to the necklace, as the petit point stones are lighter in color than the necklace and only similar in configuration. This necklace is extremely wearable and delicate in appearance!

About The Artist
