9ct gold and aquamarine fleur-de-lis earrings

Description

Inspired by blue skies and golden tussocks, these solid 9ct yellow gold earrings are set with natural aquamarines (the March birthstone)

All handmade by me. I started with solid 9ct yellow gold sheet and drilled and burred out the holes for the trillion and marquise shaped aquamarines, then pushed the gold over by hand to lock in the gems. I tidied up around the gems by hand cutting with my graver. Then to add depth and texture I filed and burred the shapes of the fleur-de-lis

Each earring measures 13mm wide and 14mm tall. Finished with 9ct yellow gold earwires.
