These earrings feature natural raw blue apatite crystals that are not cut or calibrated, which gives them such a beautiful, organic look. The stones are hammer fractured rather than faceted, so they have natural crystal faces and rough raw edges that catch the light. Even though they feel very raw, rugged and earthy, they still have a rich glow to them when the light hits, and I love that balance.

Because the stones are natural and left in their raw state, each pair varies slightly in size, shape, weight, and length. I carefully matched them into pairs that work really well together, even though they will never be perfectly identical, which is part of what makes them special. I designed these with a longer handmade ear wire so they have length without adding weight or extra movement. They hang straight and feel very easy to wear, giving you that long earring look without feeling fussy or heavy.

The silver circles are hand hammered using a straight hammer to create radiating lines rather than a soft dimple texture. I wanted the texture to feel a little sharper and more linear to play off the raw crystal surfaces, and I love how the high polish really brings that texture to life. These are incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and one of those pairs that feels just as right with a simple outfit as it does dressed up a bit. They are unique, natural, and quietly beautiful in a way that makes them easy to reach for every day.
