An open gold teardrop frame with a cascading pastel cluster floating inside it: these pastel gemstone cluster earrings set structure against color, in hand-formed 14k gold-filled wire (recycled 14/20k).

The cluster is green amethyst, pale amethyst, aquamarine, kunzite, morganite and rose quartz, with Akoya keshi pearls and green, purple and gray sapphires, arranged to cascade down through the frame. The teardrop outline stays clean and minimal, and the stones bring the spontaneity.

If gemstone cluster earrings have ever looked beautiful in the box and too much on the ear, the open frame is the answer. The teardrop is an outline of wire, not a solid shape, so the cluster sits in open space and the earring reads airy instead of dense.

They pair with the pastel statement necklaces and gemstone cuffs in the collection, or stand alone with something light-toned.

One pair, hand-formed by Andrea Li in Denver and never repeated: for anyone who would rather own one remarkable piece than a drawer of safe ones.

This pair has found its home. If it speaks to you, I can make something in its spirit.

Two elongated cushion-cut kunzites, each framed in a teardrop of recycled 14k gold-filled metal, sit at the heart of this pink kunzite choker necklace, a statement collar by Denver jewelry artist Andrea Li. The kunzite carries a peachy-pink glow and exceptional clarity.

Around them, a cluster of topaz, morganite, aquamarine, rose quartz and Akoya keshi pearls rises in volume toward the collarbones, so the color gathers where a neckline opens. It is a pastel choker built as wearable sculpture, one of a kind.

If a choker this full makes you wonder whether wire can carry it, here is what holds it. The frame is made of curved forms soldered together at precise angles, a structure strong enough to support the weight of the stones while staying light to the eye.

Wear it with a strapless dress or an open collar and let the cluster stand alone.

Put it on with an open-neck shirt and this pastel multi-strand statement necklace becomes the whole outfit: layers of 14k gold-filled chain across the collarbone, broken at intervals by one-of-a-kind clusters of Australian opal, kunzite, morganite and pearls.

The palette runs through green amethyst, aqua hydro quartz, mystic prehnite, moonstone, yellow and blue aquamarine, spinel, topaz, Japanese Akoya keshi pearls, and green and gray sapphires, every stone set on recycled 14/20k gold-filled components along 14k gold-filled sequin and circle link chains. No single stone is the hero; the color is.

If a multi-strand necklace has ever bunched or gapped on you, here is what Andrea did about it. Each layer of chain was measured for its own drape across the collarbone and chest, and the clusters sit at intervals chosen so the strands flow instead of piling up. At the back, a gemstone cluster rests at the nape of the neck, a detail mostly you will know is there. The opal and the pearls are the delicate elements, so the whole necklace is cold-connected, assembled with wire and never with heat.

A heavy cluster on one side can pull a cuff around until the stones hang under the wrist, so this pastel gemstone statement cuff was shaped to keep them on top. One side of its hand-fabricated 14k gold-filled frame is intentionally wide and the other slender, and that difference holds the weight of the cluster where you can see it.

The cluster layers aquamarine, moss aquamarine, moonstone and ametrine with pearls woven through: a pastel gemstone bracelet in soft lilacs, icy blues and blush tones, each stone wired onto the frame by hand.

If you dislike a clasp that breaks up a design, this one hides inside the cluster. Andrea Li fabricated a custom hook into the gemstone structure itself, fastening at the widest curve of the cuff, so the closure reads as part of the piece.

Its small scale makes it easy to wear often: with a knit sweater, a crisp shirt, or beside a gemstone choker.

One of a kind, made once in her Denver studio and never repeated: for the one statement piece in a pared-back wardrobe.

This piece has found its home. If it speaks to you, I can make something in its spirit.

A cuff with no clasp has to earn its place on your wrist, and this pastel gemstone cuff bracelet was built to: a wide, one-of-a-kind cuff of recycled 14k gold-filled wire, covered in a cluster of aquamarine in varied cuts, moonstone, kunzite and Japanese Akoya keshi pearls.

Color leads here, not any single stone. Moss aquamarine, green amethyst, ametrine and pale amethyst fill out the soft end of the spectrum, green, gray and purple sapphires hold its cooler edges, and the different aquamarine cuts each catch the light a different way as your wrist turns.

If you have wondered whether a clasp-free gemstone cuff will be comfortable, and whether its stones will stay put, here is what holds it. The cuff measures 7.5 inches and is slightly adjustable; it slips over the wrist and sits open-backed, and it is made to be adjusted once, not pried open every time you wear it. Gold-filled balls cap the ends of the wire, so the edges stay smooth against your skin going on and off. Every stone is wired on by hand with no heat near it, and the keshi pearls are wired in, never glued.

Wear it alone against a bare wrist, or stack it with other pieces from the Tamar collection.

Akoya keshi pearls against mystic quartz, sculptural amethysts beside baroque pearls: this multi-chain gemstone drop necklace is built on contrast, with a one-of-a-kind abstract cluster at its heart, 18k gold vermeil leaves, and strands of recycled gold-filled chain that fall into an asymmetric drop.

Color leads the composition, not any single stone. The palette runs through pale amethyst, hydro quartz, Australian opal, moss aquamarine, aquamarine, ametrine, spinel, morganite, moonstone, topaz, kunzite, purple sapphire and mystic labradorite.

If an asymmetric necklace sounds like one that hangs lopsided, the asymmetry here was planned, not left to chance. Andrea assembled each section by balancing its weight, color and shape against the others, on recycled 14/20k gold-filled components with the vermeil leaves and chain, so the drop and the cluster sit where she placed them.

It was made to be worn on its own over a plain neckline, or with a gemstone cuff bracelet or companion earrings.

The first piece made for the Tamar collection, this pastel gemstone statement necklace is a one-of-a-kind asymmetric design on sequin and diamond-cut 14k gold-filled chains, with a Biwa pearl chain running through them.

Kunzite, mystic quartz, amethyst and gray sapphires gather at the center in an asymmetric flourish, and shimmering Australian opals sit along the chains. Pale amethyst, aquamarine, zircon, mystic labradorite and purple sapphire fill out the palette.

If "gold chains" makes you ask whether this is real gold, here is what it is made of. The sequin and diamond-cut chains and the Biwa pearl chain are 14k gold-filled, a bonded layer of real gold far thicker than plating, and the components are recycled 14/20k gold-filled. The 18k gold vermeil elements are gold over sterling silver, never over base metal.

It was made to be the only necklace you wear, over a plain neckline.

A full pastel cluster of kunzite, Australian opal, aquamarine, morganite and spinel hangs below each of these gemstone dangle hoop earrings, so the color sits under the gold instead of crowding it. The hoops are 14k gold-filled wire (recycled 14/20k), formed by hand into delicate open circles.

They were made as a lighter echo of the pastel statement necklace in the same collection: the airy circles pick up the movement of its sequin chains, and the cluster hangs just below each hoop in a cleaner silhouette than a full cluster earring.

If you love opal but have heard it is delicate, earrings are one of the gentler places to wear it, because they hang suspended, away from the knocks a ring or bracelet takes. Each stone is crimped into place with wire guardians and crimp covers, which hold the cluster without adding visual weight.

Wear them with your hair pulled back and a plain neckline, and let the color do the talking.

There is only one of this gold paperclip chain necklace with a baroque pearl: a single lustrous baroque pearl anchors a pastel gemstone cluster that serves as the connector in a chain of elongated 14k gold-filled paperclip links.

The cluster is a palette of its own: aquamarine, rose quartz, kunzite, morganite, amethyst and green amethyst, with Japanese Akoya keshi pearls, Peruvian opal, and green, purple and gray sapphires. The hook is forged by hand, and every component is 14k gold-filled or recycled 14/20k gold-filled.

If paperclip chain makes you think of a trend piece that tarnishes in a season, here is the difference. These chains are 14k gold-filled, a bonded layer of real gold far thicker than plating, made to wear for years rather than months. The baroque pearl and the cluster do the rest: a modern link chain with a collector's center.

It wears as a statement collar, easy with a white shirt or a bare neckline.

If your ears are not pierced, or you would rather not add another hole, this gemstone ear cuff needs neither: a one-of-a-kind pair of recycled 14k gold-filled cuffs that hug the outer curve of the ear, each edged in a pastel cluster.

The clusters carry yellow aquamarine, kunzite, green topaz and Peruvian opal, with Japanese Akoya keshi pearls and green, purple and gray sapphires between them. Kunzite shifts from pale pink toward lilac as the light changes, so the color moves every time you turn your head.

Will a cuff stay on without a piercing? The shape does the work. Andrea formed heavy-gauge gold-filled wire to follow the ear's natural curve, so each cuff holds by gentle tension and sits flush without pinching, and a second layer of wire runs around each one to frame the cluster. If you want it a touch snugger, press the opening together slightly; the metal has enough give to adjust. The opal, the most fragile stone she sets, goes in last, wired on with no heat anywhere near it.

Wear one for asymmetry or both for full impact, with a plain black top and nothing else.
