Sterling Silver Butterfly Wing Earrings with Cape May Diamond Drops
Sterling silver butterfly wing earrings with Cape May Diamond drops on sterling silver ear wires. Pair these with my butterfly wing necklace. Simply elegant!
Each Cape May Diamond is naturally tumbled by the sea and collected by me on my daily beach walks.
Sterling silver butterfly wings are approximately 3/4 inch in length.
Cape May Diamonds are bits of quartz that have broken off of rocks high up in the Delaware River. They are tumbled smooth by the water and sand (just as sea glass is) as the make their way down the Delaware River to land on Sunset Beach in Cape May. It is said that the Native Americans used these 'gems' for trade.
These Cape May diamonds have not been tumbled or polished other than by the sea. Slight imperfections in the stone are to be expected and are proof that it is a natural Cape May Diamond. Stone, shell and coral props are not included.
