Mixed Blue and Green Kingman Composite Earrings

Mary works with many different stones, shells and serpentines to create her pieces. For these classic Santo Domingo style tab earrings, she sliced and polished a beautiful composite created by the Kingman mine.  Small pieces of high quality shell, turquoise and stones that might otherwise be discarded are molded with jeweler's epoxy and heated to create a high quality slab.
