Chrysoprase is often prized for its vibrant color, due to small amounts of nickel. The stones are suspended from delicately ornate gilt bronze butterfly motifs. Historically, chrysoprase was used by the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians in jewelry and sculpture. These earrings combine the elegance of ancient history with a timeless design.
