Prasiolite - the green variety of quartz with a pale, clean green tone that sits between mint and sage - is a gemstone whose understated color rewards close attention: not the saturated emerald green that demands notice, but a softer, more considered green that looks genuinely refined. At 6.92 carats of oval prasiolite in 18K yellow gold over brass, these drop earrings carry substantial stone weight in a cut that maximizes the characteristic transparency of the prasiolite. The oval form elongates gracefully; the warm gold complements the cool green in the way that yellow gold and green stones have always worked together. A colored gemstone earring with genuine botanical character.
