The colors in these earrings makes me think of Arizona's painted desert!  Ombre slabs were created and cut to create shades and patterns.  Based on where I cut the pieces, the designs from this slab have similarities but are quite different.  Watch for the Painted Desert earrings to see more.  They are topped with a half moon for interest.  The stud attached is a 10mm surgical steel back for those with sensitive ears,
