Pastel Gemstone Ear Cuff
Pastel Gemstone Ear Cuff
This pastel gemstone ear cuff is hand-built by Andrea Li in her Denver studio — a non-pierced design that slides on and hugs the ear's natural curve. The frame started as a metal-manipulation challenge: shaping, soldering, and reshaping recycled 14k gold-filled wire until the arc sat flush without pressure. When one cuff came out shorter than the other, Andrea added an extra wire layer to both — a fix that became the defining design element, creating a perimeter perfectly shaped to house a gemstone cluster.
Each ear cuff features a hand-wrapped cluster of yellow aquamarine, kunzite, green topaz, and Peruvian opal, accented with Japanese Akoya Keshi pearls and sapphires in green, purple, and grey. The palette reads like a spring sunset — soft enough for a wedding, striking enough to wear with a simple black top and nothing else.
No piercings required. Built once and never repeated.
