Oregon Sunstone studs with shining copper schiller
$60.00
These Oregon Sunstone stud earrings are simple and beautiful. Each stone measures 4mm, and the weight is about 1/2ct for each set.
The stones have beautiful “schiller,” which is the word for the microscopic bits of copper inside the stone that give it that dazzling shine.
They’re set in sterling silver with a six prong setting, so very secure and stylish, easy to wear in any location on your ear.
Keep in mind that these are from natural stone, and while we make every effort to match, sometimes it may not be “perfect.”
We’re sure whether you’re buying these for yourself or as a gift, they will give years of delight in wearing them.

“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.
6mm Oregon Sunstone studs in sterling silver
Here's a great set of 7mm bicolor Oregon Sunstones set into a pair of simple and elegant sterling silver studs.
The copper schiller shines with an otherworldly glow that seems to radiate from inside the stones. Colors are green and bronzy tone. Certainly not your everyday.
Oregon Sunstone, the states official gemstone, is mined in the Eastern Oregon Outback in desolate conditions.
These stones are 6mm each, and the pair weighs just over 2.2ct.
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 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).
