Aqua Chalcedony Long Teardrop Drop Earrings · Silver

Chalcedony takes its name from Chalcedon, the ancient port facing Byzantium, prized by Roman carvers for cameos. Aqua chalcedony is a milky aqua blue, translucent, and in silver it runs cooler and slightly greyer. Here a aqua chalcedony pear briolette, faceted all round, hangs from a wire-wrapped cap at the tip of a long open silver arc hook, and turns as you move.

Reach for it when you want to cool an outfit down. Silver and aqua run to one temperature, and the long arc draws a fine line down from the lobe. Cool blue, silver line.

• Cool aqua that calms a busy outfit
• Silver on silver, one quiet temperature
• Open arc hook, nothing to fasten

Handcrafted by master silversmiths in Protsaah's own workshop in Jaipur, where every maker is paid 30 to 40% above the local market rate.

Aqua chalcedony is a cool stone and sits closest to cool or neutral skin, where its blue picks up blue, grey and green eyes without competing with them. Blonde and light brown hair keep the pairing light.

For warm or olive tones, carnelian or citrine in the same design brings the warmth the aqua lacks. Not sure? Write to us at hello@protsaah.com and Salonie will recommend your stone personally.
