Black Snake Earrings with Rose Cut Black Spinel

Delicate black snakes wrapped around a sparkling prong set rose cut black spinel. I've been using more and more rose cut stones lately, there is just something about their low-key glamour. They are faceted across the top of the stone, but have a flat back, so they are as low as cabochons, but they catch the light like a traditional faceted gemstone.

Details:

The earring has an open back behind the stone, which makes for a lightweight earring for their size.

1/2" across, with an opaque black sparkling 8mm rose cut spinel.

Deeply oxidized sterling silver, with sterling silver posts and extra large earring backs.
