Cool as ice rock crystal and glowing 18k gold have been transformed into wearable earrings.
Likely these 18th-century baubles were buttons or cuff buttons, but with the addition of 14k shepherd's hook ear wires, may now live again.

A safety catch ensures these stay put. Their presence is small and subtle for everyday enjoyment.
