We love the fixed styling of these earrings. Although they look like dangles, the chrome diopside stones are precisely placed in an unmoving, graduated line. It gives a look that has impact and power. Solid. Rich.
The smallest stone is positioned to fall just below the earlobe, with the others to follow. They fall from comfortable lever backs.

Chrome diopside has several origins, but most of the finest material, and the only commercially viable deposit, is in the Republic of Sakha in Siberia, Russia. As you can imagine, production of this Siberian treasure is sporadic due to extreme winters that last more than eight months. The vivid greens of chrome diopside are a welcome alternative to rare and pricey emerald or tsavorite garnet, but it has yet to gain mainstream recognition due to its limited availability. Minor sources of chrome diopside include Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Italy, Madagascar, South Africa, and the United States.
