The cage is the design.

A single length of silver wire is bent into a teardrop, the stone dropped inside it, and the wire then coiled at the top to close the shape and form the loop — all from one continuous piece, with no solder and no findings holding it together. Bending a teardrop that reads as symmetrical, twice, is harder than it looks.

Inside sits a banded stone in teal, turquoise and gold, the stripes running in fine parallel lines across the face of the bead. Against the silver the blue-greens read cool and almost electric.

The result is compact — these sit close to the lobe rather than dangling — which makes them an easy daily pair despite the strong colour.

The purple jasper pair is the same cage design in gold, if you prefer a warmer metal.
