Birds in Flight earrings

Made for movement (just as real birds are), these earrings show off the pink tourmaline cabs set in the body of the birds.  The cabs measure 8 x 6 mm and weigh 2.76 total carats.  Mined during the 1972-1974 workings of the Dunton Mine in Newry, ME by the Plumbago Mining Corporation.

The earrings were hand cut from sterling silver by jewelry artist Jesse Mixer of Conway, NH.
