Hi, I'm Elise from Mejia Jewelry, and I want to share a little about my Nature Walk Gemstone Earrings. This is only the second pair in the Nature Walk series, and they hold a very special place in my heart.

​

The inspiration for these earrings came from a nature walk I took with my daughter. We wandered through our neighborhood, collecting bits of leaves and branches, and I was drawn to these delicate pine leaves. They became the perfect way to suspend a mix of colorful gemstones I've been hoarding over the years—each one chosen for how its color complements the others. I especially love how the greens, pinks, and blues all play off the opal triplet, which has that magical kaleidoscope effect.

​

Every gemstone is set in 18k yellow gold, while the pine leaves are cast in sterling silver. I love the movement in these earrings; the opal tops and the leaves articulate, so they sway beautifully when you wear them. Every time I see them, I'm reminded of that day with my daughter, the beauty of nature, and the joy of creating something unique from those memories.

​

These earrings are ideal for collectors who appreciate rare, colorful adornments that tell a story of nature and creativity. I hope you enjoy them.
