GeoGraphic Gems Special Edition Earrings build on the original collection with more elaborate designs that may feature any combination of larger GeoGems, multiple GeoGems, and/or more ornate settings. Each GeoGem is handcrafted by marbleizing the pages of vintage National Geographic magazines, creating swirling patterns of color and texture that give the material an organic, stone-like appearance.

No two pairs are exactly alike. The colorful gems began life as printed pages filled with maps, photographs, and stories from around the world, making every pair a unique piece of wearable art with a history all its own.

Finished with hypoallergenic stainless steel hooks for comfortable everyday wear.

About GeoGraphic Gems

When Marcia Passos, the artist behind this brand, contacted us, we had difficulty envisioning what it was she had created. She told us about her GeoGraphic Gems—so named because they are "gems" made from old National Geographic magazines—but all we could think was how the heck do you create gems from magazines?!!

GeoGraphic Gems treats the clay-based pages with a natural citric acid that dissolves the ink on the pages, creating brilliant abstract designs. Intrigued by the stunning designs this technique created, and having experience in jewelry-making, Marcia started sealing her mini works of marbelized art under glass cabochons, which makes them impermeable to liquids and magnifies the designs.

As is the case with so many of the pieces Repurposed offers, we can't really sell, say, a pair of blue GeoGems earrings, because every blue pair—in fact, every blue earring—is different. We do our best to capture the vibrant masterpieces photographically, hopefully well enough so you can find the ones you like, but we can't do them justice.
