Animal Shape Earrings in Sterling Silver  

Natural Gemstone Earrings Carved Into Animal Forms

Animal-shaped gemstone earrings require skilled carving work. Softer stones like turquoise (Mohs 5-6) or malachite (Mohs 3.5-4) allow for detailed features—eyes, feathers, scales—while harder materials like jasper or agate (Mohs 6.5-7) hold up to daily wear with minimal scratching. The sterling silver settings are 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for strength, hallmarked .925. SilverRush Style has offered these pieces since 2005. The animal forms include domestic creatures, wild predators, marine life, and insects. Stone colors come from mineral content: iron creates reds and yellows in jasper, copper produces the green bands in malachite, and chromium gives some agates their deeper hues. No dyes or synthetic materials are used. Browse by animal type or stone preference using the filters above. Each product page lists exact dimensions, stone identification, and weight.
