Maine Teal Tourmaline Sea Flower Earrings in 18K Gold

These earrings were hand carved and cast in 18k gold using the lost wax process. They were originally inspired by the ruffled edges of coral. After the first clusters were cast, the spheres were added to the centers and so they became flowers, or as I like to think of them, ‘flowers of the sea’.
They are accented with custom rose cut teal tourmalines, mined right here in Maine from Mount Mica, and hand cut in South Portland, weighing in at 1.5 carats each.
