I was a bit worried these would be too busy. However, when they arrived I was so excited. They are beautiful with clean lines. They are not overpowering at all......just right. Craftmanship is wonderful and the pink of the stone is delicate and lovely.

The stones are lovely and the silver work done well. The hooks are long, but I like to add a "stopper" on them to keep my earrings safe. These hooks are delicate and I have to be careful not to bend the hooks.

These are truly lovely and made with excellent workmanship. The colors are true to the picture, very pretty and both match. I very much appreciate the rounded tips on the ear wire. So many are just cut off, and if one is lucky the edges are smoothed. On these earrings they are actually rounded and are easy to slip in. They are comfortable to wear and move freely. I’m extremely pleased with the high quality! .

I love unique hand made and designed things, now I am into jewelry and I just love these. The blue stone goes with anything and is rich looking. And design is unique and commented on. Came perfectly, only problem was the back “stud?” Or backing was stuck and hard to get of one of the. Oddly was loose afterwards. Always concerned about loosing good earrings I usually get rubberized backings that stay where I want them. So no problem. Love them...love the little dot on top too..nice touch.!

Teh unusual suspension of the stone within the chain works well. This is a beautiful and unusual piece and it is an eyecatcher for others. Not too large a stone but large enough to make a statement. I am not much of a color blue wearer but that is all going to change now because of this piece. It is gorgeous and unusual.

I looked at this piece for a long time before buying it because of the cost. The workmanship is great. I do wish it were a bit larger, but it is a stand-out piece just the same. I could have never bought it if it were more expensive. It matches others Chrysocolla pieces I've bought perfectly.

I always feel energized by jewelry with circles and circular 'angles'. This pretty Lapis lazuli dangle give me that energy. They are different, light weight, but have a good length to them. Great everyday type earring. Excellent creation, Tiberio Gonzales, and thank you!
