Green Amethyst Earrings

I made this pair of 70 carat green amethyst (prasiolite) earrings for a client. The gems are among the best that I have seen for this type of stone.

I used a thick gold setting to match the large size of the earrings. The earrings are just under 2 inches long.

Angelina Jolie wore a similar set in emerald to the Oscars.

Green Onyx Angelina Jolie Earrings

Gold, Onyx and Ruby Cufflinks

These are custom-designed 18k gold cufflinks. The solid, chunky feel of the cufflinks creates a very masculine structure. I nevertheless wanted to create a special appeal to them and so I set 12 small rubies in the back of them. I believe the back of the jewelry must look as good as the front. Since only you and your loved-one will see the back of the jewelry, to some extent, it has to look even better.
