Thanks for being so observant! The earrings you mention are made using prasiolite.If you go to our Free Jewelry Patterns and Ideas page, you will see a variation of this design that I call Bent Wire Earrings, and I also tell you how to make them. They are so easy to make, and are one of my best sellers!
