These sparkling, rich golden yellow citrine (November birthstone!) earrings were mined and made near Asheville, NC in the 1990s. The briolette gem shape was created to mimic elegant French chandeliers and hence, were actually MADE to show off its facets and to dangle, like in these drop earrings. The artisan wire is 14K yellow gold and the elongated French hooks (which help with earring loss!) are made from 14K yellow gold fill. These beauties measure 1.25” from top to bottom and have been thoughtfully stored for years.
