Janice Marie Jewelry, Turquoise Jurassic Earrings

These earrings are created by using my signature bead embroidery method, where gold coated Japanese glass beads are stitched around a found object to create jewelry. The objects in this piece. 190 million year old ammonite shell fossils and hand picked Kingman turquoise, from the Kingman turquoise mine in Arizona. These earrings are 2 1/2 inches long, the findings are 14kt gold filled, and the backs are finished with ultras suede for style and comfort.
