Description
Here’s another unique set of Oregon Sunstone and moonstone beaded earrings for you to look over.
They’re simple enough for everyday wear, but those faceted Oregon Sunstone beads really make them shine.
I’ve always liked the duality of using Sunstone and Moonstone in my work. If you’d like to wear this pretty little set, they’re very reasonably priced for a handcrafted pair of earrings. The metal is all sterling silver, and the leverback settings keep them securely in place.

“Jelly Purple” 12ct Holley Blue Agate ring in sterling
Do you want to know the most common question I'm asked at live sales events? It's "What's that purple stuff?"
This is Holley Blue Agate. The name is a little misleading because most of it is a lavender to almost grape jelly purple, the later being the most highly sought-after.
Not only is it rare, but it's getting rarer every day because the place we used to mine it in Linn County Oregon has been closed to public digging since the 90's and there's no other source.
This ring features a large 12ct piece of some of the juiciest purple agate you've ever seen. It's set in a sterling silver bezel, and wow, does it pop!
I have quite a few pieces made with this stone, but this one is special.

This 14k gold flat back labret features a natural Oregon Sunstone in your choice of bezel or prong setting. Ideal for nose, conch, helix, Medusa, Monroe, or labret piercings. Internally threaded 16g post with a secure 5mm flat back.
8mm Holley Blue Agate Cabochon stud earrings in 925 sterling
Two lovely 8mm Holley Blue Agate caboshons mounted in sterling silver post earrings.
They're simple, yet so elegant. The delicate lavender color with a slight bit of peach is just perfect.
Holley Blue used to be sourced near Sweethome OR, but the collection site was closed down about 35 years ago. The only way to get it now is through someone like myself who had collected it years ago.
Each cabochon weighs about 3ct.
At the moment, there is just one pair available like this. I may be making more soon.

Oregon “Neopolitan” earrings
I'm calling these earrings "Oregon Neopolitan" because of the colors of the stones.
All three stones are Oregon natives. The first is "Vanilla" (or clear) Oregon Sunstone. The second is a "Chocolate" Oregon Fire Opal from Opal Butte near John Day. The third pink stone, you may not be familiar with. It's a pink common opal, also found near Opal Butte from the Pink Lady mine. This one, I call "Strawberry" pink opal. It's rounded out by another sweet "Vanilla" Oregon Sunstone bead.
All set on sterling silver wire, hand fashioned and micro welded together.
Oregon Sunstone and red Swarovski glass beaded earrings in sterling silver
These earrings feature two beautifully faceted champagne Oregon Sunstone beads and a red Swarovski glass bead on each. Finished with a 1" long sterling silver feather and all sterling silver wire.
They dangle and catch the light beautifully and would make a perfect gift for someone special, or just a nice treat for yourself.
Oregon Sunstone was revered by the indigenous people of Oregon who used it in medicine wheel ceremonies and often would bury their dead with this sacred stone.
The folklore is that one day, a great warrior was injured by an enemies arrow. As he fell to the ground, his blood stained the crystals, inbuing them with his spirit (thus, the red color of some Oregon Sunstone).
Red Oregon Sunstone dangling pendant in sterling silver
Cute dangling pendant in sterling silver with delicate 18" chain.
These Red and dark pink Oregon Sunstones are the star of the show though. The trillion cut is about 1.5ct and it's a very nice dark red that usually goes for about $500/ct. The oval is about 2ct and more of a dark pink and typically gets sold for about $100/ct.
This was a pair of earrings until I lost one at a tradeshow. Added this cute little bale though and selling the pendant. Get $950 worth of gorgous Oregon Sunstones, set into a stunning piece of jewelry for a bargain price!
