Alexandrite earrings with orange padparadscha sapphire, handmade sterling silver earrings peacock_necklace I painted the gingko leavesI chose stunning Fanta orange sapphires roundels to set off the great color changing Czochralski alexandrite gemstones! Wrapped entirely in sterling silver wire, by me, of course. I wrapped smaller sapphires around the top of the alexandrites. I then added clusters of the sapphires up to the sterling silver lever back ear wires. These show stopping earrings are just over 2 inches long. Czochralski (the method of creation) alexandrites (chrysoberyl)
