I share occasional updates from my studio, upcoming California art shows, and the stories behind my one-of-a-kind jewelry and leather designs — written personally by me.
The 4 carat total weight faceted cut gemstone stud earring jacket set will add a touch of elegance to any personal style. Featuring colorful topaz graded AA stones — considered near perfect — in dark blue, light blue, iridescent, and purple color options.
The versatile gemstone earrings can be worn multiple ways — wear the round shaped textured Argentium silver metal elements with the gemstone studs, just the gemstone studs, or wear the textured design jackets with a personal pair of stud earrings. Wear the round earring jackets in the front or back of your earlobe. The earring jackets are ultra-lightweight, creating a comfortable style ideal for daytime or evening wear.
This classic earring style is a true work of art. Each jewelry piece is handcrafted personally by artist, Lisa Ramos in her Clayton, California studio. Lisa’s design philosophy is focused on creating high quality jewelry pieces you can wear for years to come.
What makes a MONOLISA jewelry piece unique? Each earring jacket is one of a kind and not casted. The handmade process includes sawing metal pieces, hand sculpting, soldering, hammering, texturing, sanding, buffing, multiple hours of heat hardening the Argentium silver to increase tarnish resistance, stone setting, and polishing.
The MONOLISA Collection is not mass produced or sold in retail stores. Pieces are only available on this website or at a show and have been featured at fine art juried shows in California. Lisa’s mission is to design beautifully handmade limited edition pieces that add a touch of elegance to any personal style.
The stone is believed to dispel sadness and fear, ward off poisons, and reverse infertility. Topaz is one of the birthstones for November. Birthstone colors & meanings .
