Silver Malachite Shield Earrings
Silver Malachite Shield Earrings
I found these malachite beads at a market in Lusaka, Zambia. The old gentleman who sold them to me said he had made the beads by hand. Looking at his old, weathered hands, I could see he was telling me the truth.
I love meeting the artisans who make our components. Not a single one of them is exactly the same shape or size, which makes them unique.
Malachite, to me, is a particularly African stone, and it was with that in mind that I decided to use the texturing effects on these earrings. As much as life in Africa can be a bit rough and will leave its mark on you, it's your choice to ignore negative energy and live a beautiful life.
