This is a pretty pair of chrome diopside and aquamarine earrings made in solid sterling silver that have been plated with 14K white gold. Coating sterling silver with white gold adds a tarnish-resistant and more durable exterior, improving its appearance with a bright, lustrous finish. There are ten oval 4mm x 3mm chrome diopside gemstones, eight 4mm x 3mm pear-cut chrome diopside stones, and four small, round 2.5mm accent aquamarine gemstones for a total estimated weight of 2.79 ctw. The earrings measure right at an inch in length by 0.39 of an inch in width. They have butterfly back closures. These earrings are sure to draw many compliments from friends and family. 

In the realm of crystal healing, chrome diopside is widely believed to be an effective Heart Chakra activator. Practitioners associate it with emotional balance, forgiveness, and the release of toxic habits, trauma, or grief. It is also highly prized for its alleged ability to foster a deeper connection with nature, attract abundance, and facilitate spiritual growth. 

Aquamarine represents happiness, hope and everlasting youth. In ancient times, aquamarine was thought to protect those at sea and was believed to make sailors fearless and safe from adversaries on the open waters. On land, it is believed to have soothing effects on couples, helping them to work through their differences and ensure a long and happy marriage. That power makes it an excellent stone to give on anniversaries.

****I must apologize that I have had to increase the shipping on all my inventory items due to the fact that the post office has almost doubled their shipping prices. In order to keep my item prices lower, shipping had to go up! I hope you understand! As always, I will always combine shipping for multiple items to save you money on shipping.
