These earrings were hand cut from rough, shaped and then polished by our design team. They were them carefully wire wrapped in sterling silver and placed on sterling silver earwires. They are substantial earrings and are a fabulous example of petrified wood as you can see the fibers of the wood. The color varies on each earring from a dark agate to a white agate which just brings out the beauty of these petrified wood earrings! They measure approximately 2 inches in length.
