Tourmaline drop earrings by Yvonne Raley

[kgizo]

I saw the drops on Yvonne's FB feed when she was in Tucson and had to have them. Sent a couple of inspiration pics to Yvonne and she suggested the fan shapes and paraiba melee. I wouldn't have thought to put the paraibas with the tourms and I love the combination. Yvonne has a great eye for color. The fan shape is part of her design option portfolio so the earrings were completed fairly quickly. Yvonne and her team were very helpful throughout the process and I am really pleased with the outcome. Tourmaline drops are 25x4.5mm and paraiba rounds are 2.5mm. I am traveling and will take some ear shots when I'm back home.

I haven't had elongated drops like theses before and I like how they hang and move.

Some ear shots below. The tourm shifts along the blue-green spectrum depending on the lighting.

Just came back to admire these again, a while later. Still some of my all-time faves. Hope you’re still enjoying them!

Thanks, @NKOTB! That is high praise coming from you as I really admire your collection. I’ve been in a rut wearing my basic diamond studs but your post has inspired to pull these out of the jewelry box and look a little more colorful
