These drop earrings combine hematite with individually flared silver tube sections, creating these lovely tactile earrings. I flare each silver section with a doming punch, so they are ever so slightly different, much like the sections of a bamboo cane, which was the inspiration behind this design. Hematite is thought to be a powerful stone which has strong grounding energy, connecting us to the earth. It is cold to touch, this makes it cooling and calming, and it is considered a good stone to wear to develop concentration and focus. I also make a coordinating pendant and bracelet to go with these earrings: Hematite Silver Bamboo Pendant, Long Hematite Silver Bamboo Bracelet Your jewellery will arrive beautifully packaged in a Louise Mary branded gift box tied with ribbon.
