These are statement earrings, the slender quartz slices and garnet make a stunning combination.  Quartz is known as kind of "programmer".  What does this mean?  Quartz helps one manifest your dreams and desires.  If you speak to it, hold it, and meditate on it, you will, in essence, evoke its ability to "make things happen."  The red pebbles that alternate with the Quartz are called Garnet, (January's birthstone).  The Garnet in this piece evokes passion...kind of appropriate for its deep crimson color.
 
All earrings are made with stainless steel hypoallergenic earring hooks.
