Single Iris 14K Gold Vermeil Beaded Swing Earrings

Thank you for your wonderful years of support. After much thought and consideration, I will miss design, but I am still doing custom pieces and look forward to my next exciting adventure. At this time, I will be moving to my next phase in life and no longer selling my jewelry.

~ Wendy Culpepper

Materials 14K Gold Vermeil
Finish Brushed Matte
Earring Length 2" from the top of the earwire
Earring Width .75"
Gemstones Citrine, Garnet, Pink Tourmaline, Smokey Quartz

Dark smokey quartz paired with sunny citrine or intense red garnet with warm and feminine pink tourmaline semi precious stones adorn a 1” chain that gently moves and swings while anchored by an elegant small fiore shape. The Single Iris Swing earrings embrace the curved lines of the Fiore Collection and add sprinkling of deep, rich color that will modernize any look and style.

The Fiore Collection comes from the inspiration I received in Florence, Italy. Florence was the city that gave me the opportunity to fully embrace art. I pursued drawing, painting, sculpture, and most importantly, I was introduced to jewelry. One of the most captivating features of the city is the architecture adorned with such precise and beautiful detail. A prominent symbol is the Florentine version of the "fleur-de-lis," which inspired my flower ('fiore') collection with similar clean, yet bold design elements. By giving the silver a high polish, I was able to demonstrate the pure reflectivity of the metal, which I feel brings out the full essence of the pieces. Conversely, the matte finish of the gold softens the look with a balance of color and texture.
Vermeil is defined as an overlay of gold on sterling silver. This ensures a quality metal as opposed to base metals under your gold. Because of its plating, vermeil should never be polished. If severe tarnish is occurring from the sterling silver tarnishing beneath your gold, an ultrasonic cleaning can be used on a limited basis. To help reduce this tarnishing, we have added a palladium layer between our sterling silver and gold on many items. Your vermeil will look beautiful for a long time to come and will “antique” with age for a charming new look. Just remember to protect it in your anti-tarnish felt bag or a velvet lined jewelry box to avoid scratching, chemicals, hairspray, and make-up.
