Handmade Designer Sterling Silver Necklaces and Earrings by Miranda Kyger with Lapis and Pyrite
The lovely Miranda Kyger created this rich and creative collection just in time for winter. It's a perfect collection to choose a special gift from!
Miranda, who is always full of mineral and gem information tells us:
Pyrite and lapis are often found growing together. If you look very closely at the rich blue hues of lapis, you will most likely see the tiny flecks of gold. This glimmer of gold is pyrite, or fools gold. When pyrite grows on its own, it forms the most curious shapes. Look for the cubes of natural pyrite in this line.Pyrite, lapis and sterling silver long necklaces. Available at Angie Star Jewelry. $158 and $165
Handcrafted silvermoons and pyrite necklaces. $68 and $72
Pyrite, lapis and sterling necklace $68. The necklace on the right features hand made chain! $84
Gorgeous matching earrings ranging from $54 - $70.
