Branch earrings with Tanzanite

These long sterling silver branch earrings are cast from actual branches. They are solid silver and have tanzanite briolette beads wire wrapped onto them. They measure approximately 3" including ear wires. Now you too can own a piece of the 12 dancing princesses silver forest. The branches are solid silver- not a dipped item. It goes through the "lost wax casting" process, which involves encasing the selected branch in a special plaster. The branch and plaster then both go into the kiln, where the branch burns away and a void is left in the plaster, where the branch used to be. Molten silver is then poured into the void, allowed to cook, and then the plaster is broken away to leave a solid silver analog of the original branch.
