Joie de Vivre jewelry

In Norse mythology, this giantess of the storm-home Thrymheim went to find her father who had been tricked and killed by Loki and others of Asgard. Fearing her wrath, they offered her gold, which she refused for a husband and a bellyful of laughter. And so she chose Njord (based on his feet) but neither could stand the house of the other; her home was in the icy mountains and his by the rocking sea. They lived apart, and she hunted wild animals as she crossed her mountainous home in great skis. The blue calcite gemstones in these 3.5" drop earrings are like the icy teeth of her terrains, accompanied by hammered sterling silver rings topped with labradorite gemstone rounds. The sterling silver ear wires are long and well-balanced for drop earrings.

Cost: $97.00 USD

Length: earrings - 3.5"

Materials:

  • blue calcite gemstone daggers
  • labradorite gemstone rounds
  • sterling silver rings
  • sterling silver components and ear wires

Care & cleaning: Clean with damp soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on metal.

Generally, the materials in these earrings are robust to tugs and pulls, though care should be taken to avoid hard impacts to the calcite gemstones, which are a softer material. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
