It is sometimes difficult to remember why we spend so much effort and time searching high and low for unique gemstones. All of that traveling, meticulous inspection of gemstones, dealing with vendors (who aren't always honest) is tedious to say the least.Each time we find new reasons why we shouldn't spend so much time searching for new materials, and the only motivation that keeps us traveling and searching is finding stones such as this leopard skin jasper that's completely natural and untreated except for the cut. I remember seeing these stones for the first time; the texture and colors of this leopard skin jasper were so inspiring that we felt an immediate connection with this stone.
The stones can also be seen in the matching necklace for the earrings:
Nowadays, so many stones are treated with chemicals to create an unnatural shine effect on gemstones, or factory-cut in such unbecoming and tacky forms. We knew that we came upon something special with this jasper. So gorgeously natural and unabashedly itself in its textures and colors.
(The toggle for this necklace is one handcrafted by silver artisans in pure fine silver.)
