Gem Drop Earrings in Green Quartz StyleNumber_S000740M it feels extra-refreshing going onSomething of an iconoclast in the fine jewelry world, Marie Hlne de Taillac makes semi precious pieces that feel decidedly un stuffy. Her designs are special, but playful, and have enjoyed a cult following since 1996. Each piece is made by artisans in Jaipur, India (the gem capital of the world!) and carefully crafted to bring out the natural rainbow colors of the stones. This is a delicate pair of earrings made with drops of palest green quartz.
