The heart of this particular set is a star cut Bloodstone. The star cut signifies the North star, where the 4 points that hang below signify North, East, South, and West. I think Bloodstone is an incredibly amazing stone for bohemian pirate inspired jewelry. The crimson spatter within the deepest green is completely different from one bead to another, creating a very unique and beautiful set.
The earrings hang at 2.75". The earring hooks are nickel free and hypoallergenic.
