Stacked Black Spinel and Striped Agate Dangle Earrings, 14K Gold Fill

Faceted black spinel has a sparkle that's impossible to miss. Here, five stones are stacked above a lightly hammered 14K gold-filled link. Just below: a striped agate dangle — the agate's distinctive patterning designed to evoke ancient Tibetan "Dzi" beads, prized for centuries.

The result: elegant earrings with a graphic punch.

Black spinel is August's alternate birthstone.
