Crafted in 14K yellow gold, these earrings feature malachite accented by 80=0.22ctw earth-mined round brilliant cut diamonds. They are secured with posts and friction backs and finished in a bright polish.
Collector’s Note: Malachite
Malachite has been appreciated for thousands of years—long before diamonds got their marketing campaigns. Recognized by its distinct banded patterns of rich green, malachite was mined by ancient Egyptians and used for everything from jewelry to pigments. What makes it collectible isn’t just the color—it’s the pattern discipline. The best malachite shows tight, concentric banding with crisp contrast and clean polish. Anything blotchy, dull, or cloudy is lower grade. It’s a copper-based mineral, and that means it’s softer than many gemstones (so don’t throw it in an ultrasonic cleaner or store it loose with harder stones). But with just a little care, malachite delivers big visual impact—bold, graphic, and unmistakably natural. In a world full of lab-grown “perfect,” malachite’s organic striping is proof that sometimes the earth’s original designs are still the best.
