My Finita claw set stud earring design is a simplicity itself, and this pretty, open setting lets the light pour in to the stones making them sparkle all day. And like my Theresa studs, they are part of my interchangeable collection of earrings, becoming the centre of attention in my halos: purple amethyst Finita's sparkle even more with a Cactus diamond halo, and green chrome diopside Finita's feel uplifted with the gold Shippo halo.

A rarely known gemstone, chrome diopside gleams in brilliantly vivid, bright green hues, a feature caused by the chromium element within it. A calcium magnesium silicate, with a relatively low hardness, it is best set as a pendant or earrings to avoid being scratched. Some stones have mesmerizing chatoyancy and asterism, as well as being magnetic.
