Anika Malachite Gem Drop Earrings

There's no denying that the Anika Malachite Gem Drop Earrings have a unique flair with their geometric shapes and green malachite beads. Malachite is a mineral that has been used for thousands of years for its healing properties, as well as for its beauty. Malachite is believed to have protective qualities and is often used as a talisman or amulet to protect the wearer from negative energy. It is also thought to promote emotional healing, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. In addition to its healing properties, malachite has been used for jewelry making for centuries. The unique green color and swirling patterns make it a popular gemstone in jewelry design. These Anika Malachite Gem Drop Earrings feature malachite beads that add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the design. The twisted triangles and circles add a contemporary touch, making them perfect for any occasion. Handcrafted in Kenya by artisans with Bombolulu Workshops, located near the city of Mombasa.
