I've stacked three blue topaz ovals with argentium silver sprouts growing between. Below is linked a cut of petrified oak with a cluster of blue topaz at the base. The texture and patterning of the petrified oak is quite beautiful and sets off so well against the blue topaz--earth and sky.
The post earrings measure 2 1/2 inches long and are secured with a silicon and silver earring back for security and comfort.
