Description 
When I returned to teaching this past August, while catching up with my colleague Jill, she pulled a sack of exquisite stones from her bookbag. It turns out that she had been visiting her mother in New Brunswick over the summer, something else we have in common, and cleaning out the attic. She ran across this sack of stones her mother had gathered on the beach in Brazil many years ago on a trip with Jill's father. They were so pretty she had kept them all these years, but never having a real use for them, they had eventually been relegated to the attic. Jill told her mom, "I know exactly who will appreciate these and put them to good use!" I could have kissed her! So, Jill not being one to wear much jewelry, I made a couple of pieces for her daughters as keepsakes of their grandmother, and now I have these wonderful stones to create with. So unfolds the first story...

I've called these earrings In Spiritu, because they were inspired, as part of a set with the matching necklace, by a spirit outside myself. I merely provided the hands and the eyes to get the job done. As to the exact identity of the rough stones I am unsure, but willing to hazard an educated guess that they are chrysoprase. Hand formed and hammered copper links are suspended from copper ear hooks. A copper cage is formed around the small chrysoprase stones, and the cages are suspended from the copper links. The link and cage dangles 2 inches from the ear hook.
