Glamorous statement earrings are hand-strung with long hexagonal-shaped pyrite beads into elongated teardrops that dangle from pyrite bead-encrusted studs. Lyrical Jewels: A harmonic collection of jewelry pieces highlighting dramatic, lustrous semi-precious stones and radiant golden metals. Pyrite: Pyrite, a metallic golden stone with extraordinary sparkle, derives its name from pyr, the Greek word for fire. With its deceptive similarity to chunks of real gold, Pyrite is also known Fool’s Gold. The inherent shine and the shape of pyrite chunks, which form as a series of large and small crystals and even cube forms, renders it ideal for unique and eye-catching jewelry pieces.
