Montana Agate Earrings with 14k Gold and Brown Diamonds

Elegant and sophisticated, these one of a kind earrings feature brown diamonds and Montana Agate set with solid 14k gold on gold ear wires. These particular gemstones feature a wonderful brown and clear linear pattern, creating a dynamic color moment.

Montana Agate, the state of Montana's official gemstone, is found only in gravel deposits around the Yellowstone River. A 65-million year old volcanic rock, Montana Agate can vary in color from red to brown and black and, rarely, green. The black and brown colors in these earrings are the result of manganese oxide in Milky Quartz. Montana Agate is considered a very hard rock, a hardness of 7, which makes it very durable and easy to wear. 

Brown diamonds are the most common diamond in the world. Traditionally used for industrial purposes, they are now being used more widely in the jewelry industry. They range in color from light champagne colored to deep rich cognac and chocolate colors. They possess the same qualities of durability and hardness that white diamond have, but their opaque color makes them less expensive.

These earrings drop 1 1/8" from the bottom of the ear wire.
