The flawless Swarovski crystal owes its discovery to Bohemian Daniel Swarovski. This son of a cut-crystal factory owner spent nineteen years of his life perfecting a machine that would produce flawless results.
Like the black and white crystals that accentuate these earrings, Laura Fernandez’s native country of Colombia is a striking land of contrasts. Here, nearly half of the country’s population of 42 million lives in poverty. Left widowed with children to care for and no marketable skills, Laura Hernandez could have become a member of this statistic. It was her jewelry designs that rescued her. Today, her creations are sought after by Colombian celebrities.
These black and white Swarovski crystal earrings measure approximately 1 inch.

Each piece is unique and can vary from the picture since natural material tends to vary from piece to piece.
To maintain the crystalline quality of Swarovski crystals: 1) avoid exposure to household chemicals like hair spray, perfume and cleaning products; 2) wipe them gently with a warm damp cloth to remove body oils and perspiration; 3) when storing, keep them separate from other gemstones and metals that may scratch them.
Sterling silver should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your sterling silver as shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your sterling silver to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
