Victoria Mason — 'L.O' Earrings in Sterling Silver with White Quartz Stalectites
Victoria's L.O collection is a love story to both jewellery and gemstones. The name in drawn from the letters L & O hidden within the design, first two letters of love, longing, loyal & logical-an unfinished thought that invites completion by the wearer.
Each gemstone has been carefully selected for the way it resonates within the design.
These gems were cut & shaped from a rough gem specimen by Victoria. The choice was made to retain the host stone as the 2 rocks formed together and present a unique opportunity to remain together.
