Dara Ettinger's beautiful, sparkling pieces are always a Maya* favorite. Her pieces elegantly combine the natural beauty of druzy and geode with sterling silver or gold plated settings and chains. Druzy is a unique stone that glitters and shimmers for days, it catches the eye and draws the viewer deeper and deeper into it's glittery abyss. If there's one thing we can confirm, it's that druzy is a show stopper!

| Geode |
Druzy is a coating of fine crystals on a rock surface or within a geode. When cracked open, a geode reveals crystals on the inside. When the crystals are small, and look like a coating of glittering stardust, it's called druzy. Druzy exhibits Mohs scale hardness of 7. This means it is fairly hard and thus durable in jewelry. And, as an added durability benefit, druzy crystals will not crumble or fall off in normal use.
We think Dara Ettinger achieves a harmonious balance between fashion and nature, and we love her for it!
