Lilting Blues Earrings | #10

I named these earrings after those lilting common blues, soft as a summer morning and twice as beautiful.  

These earrings are made from unique slices of Montana agate cut as a pair. 

On the backs of the agate dangles, I have sawn tiny geometric and slightly irregular windows, to look like the patterning of a butterfly wing.

For each pair of earrings, I used very different agate pairs, varying in shape, patterning, color, and size.

Below each agate gemstones are dimensional butterflies, floating off in different directions. And below them, smooth fluorite gemstones in varying hues of teal to green to purple. Reminiscent of the iridescence of blue butterfly wings, seamlessly gliding between colors.
