This striking design centers on a polished, teardrop-cut natural agate pendant, masterfully selected for its distinct mineral banding of rich grey, earth brown, and oceanic blue hues. The central gemstone is nestled within a dynamic framework of two nested, hand-hammered gold wire teardrops that echo its fluid form and create an elegant, orbital sense of space. Expertly hand-assembled and heavily plated in lustrous 18k gold over a premium brass base, the entire concentric drop is suspended from a textured, hammered teardrop stud post. Measuring a dramatic 3 inches in total length with a balanced 11-gram presence per ear, they deliver powerful visual volume while maintaining an effortlessly wearable, lightweight feel. Completed with a secure post fastening that ensures they sit flush and stable against the lobe, the Darlena earrings add a polished, slow-fashion statement to modern tailoring or minimalist vacation silhouettes. Artist’s Note "With the Darlena earrings, I wanted to create a frame that honors the incredible, natural landscape inside the stone. The multi-layered, concentric gold wires act like ripples extending from a central point, emphasizing the raw, hand-hammered textures against the mirror-polished banded agate slice. At 3 inches long, it’s a deliberate architectural piece designed to catch the light beautifully with the natural sway of the wearer."
