"Double Circle" Earrings by Ben Nighthorse[/caption]
Take a look at these beautiful new Ben Nighthorse gaspeite “Double Circle” dangling earrings. Gaspeite, which comes from a mine in Australia, is now an extremely rare stone as the mines are tapped out. Ben has used this rare green stone to create a pair of earrings that remind us of Spring and Summer while the snow falls. Light weight, easy to wear, and fun!!!
