Description
Description: These broken ox sterling silver stud earrings feature agates sourced from multiple locations across British Columbia, showing a mix of yellow, orange, black, and white tones. The stones are polished to bring out their natural color variation, with subtle banding and internal patterning visible across each piece. The oxidized silver setting adds contrast, darkening the surrounding metal so the brighter yellow and orange agates stand out while the black and white stones keep a more muted, balanced look.
The agates come from well-known BC localities, including the Fraser River and Haida Gwaii for the warmer-toned material, and Sackum Creek in the Nicoamen Plateau for the black and white varieties. These agates formed in volcanic environments, where silica-rich fluids filled cavities and slowly crystallized in layers, creating the banding and color differences seen in each stone. The variety of sources in one piece highlights the geological diversity of British Columbia in a compact, wearable format.
