          Description
          Crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, these 1970s estate earrings feature two polished malachite drops measuring approximately 20.5 x 15mm each. The stones are bezel-set and suspended from fluted gold caps with delicate shepard’s hook backings. The overall length is 1 11/16', with a width of 5/8'. The earrings are stamped, though the hallmark is no longer legible.

          Bold in scale yet naturally grounded—these earrings highlight the rich green banding of malachite with a clean gold frame and soft, sculptural movement. The high-polish finish and generous drop create visual presence, while the fluid lines and organic patterning keep the look approachable. They pair effortlessly with both earthy textures and tailored silhouettes.

          Understanding Malachite in Jewelry Design

          Malachite is known for its vivid green color and distinctive, banded patterns formed through natural mineral layering. Its use in jewelry spans centuries, appreciated for both its bold appearance and organic feel. When paired with yellow gold, malachite's deep tones are amplified—offering a striking visual contrast that’s both elegant and expressive.
