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

I have received enormous demand for earrings that are similar to those that Angelina Jolie wore to the Oscars. Unfortunately making these earrings in Emerald would cost roughly $1,000,000. As an alternative, I have found exceptional quality green onyx which is also know as Chrysoprase. Below is a picture of a set of earrings that I made for a client for her wedding.

Angelina Jolie Red Carpet Earrings with Citrine

angelina-emeralds2

Angelina Jolie recently made a splash on the red carpet at the Oscar's by wearing some fantastic emerald earrings. The sheer size and rich color made her a standout among all the stars. Since then I have been asked by a number of clients to create them earrings with the following two qualities: they must be big and beautiful; they must have lots of color. Since emeralds this size are beyond the budget of most, we have been looking at other natural stones. Take a look at the set in Prasiolite (also called green amethyst).

Below are a set of citrine stones that would make similar earrings.

The earrings would have a total weight of 49.47 cts!! They consist of two high quality, cushion cut citrine stones weighing a total of 16.88 cts and two teardrop (pear) citrines weighing a total 32.59 carats. The color is a wonderful deep orange which makes it much more desirable (and valuable) compared to the yellowy / lemony citrines that you typically find in your local jewelry store. They would certainly make you stand out in a crowd! Please email me or send me a note if you are interested in something similar.

Angelina's Oscar Earrings and Ring with Green Quartz


Earring Stones

Center Ring Stone


I have had a number of requests for earrings like Angelina Jolie's but using a more affordable natural green stone.  I managed to pick up a matching set of Green Quartz (also called Prasiolite or Green Amethyst).  The color is a beautiful, rich green. 

The earrings would have a total weight of 70 cts, consisting of a cushion cut top stone and a tear drop (pear) bottom stone.  The ring stone is also a cushion cut stone and weighs 28.6 carats.  In terms of size, I think the stones are similar to Angelina Jolie’s jewelry.  Th
e ring stone is 19mm wide. The top stone for the earring (the cushion cut) is about 14 mm wide and the tear drop stone is almost 27 mm long.  I chose these stones as the best matching set out of a very large package that my Brazilian dealer had.  This is an excellent color for green quartz.  Email me if you are interested in something similar.

Although these are a different shade of green from emeralds they have their own special beauty.  Their large size and fire will make the same statement that Angelina's did on the red carpet.
