A gorgeous pair of Libyan Desert Glass earrings, individually handcrafted in solid sterling silver and set with two pieces of this rare natural impact glass.
Libyan Desert Glass is a fascinating material formed by the immense forces of a meteorite impact around 26 million years ago, and is found across remote regions of Libya and Egypt.
Each earring features a natural piece of this beautiful golden glass, with its own unique shape, clarity and surface texture. No two pairs are ever identical.
This remarkable material has been valued since ancient times and was even used in jewellery found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, highlighting its long-standing appeal.
The earrings measure approximately 4 cm top to bottom and are fitted with solid sterling silver ear wires, creating a simple and elegant design that allows the natural beauty of the glass to take centre stage.
