Serene and radiant, these earrings feature Sleeping Beauty turquoise gems — renowned for their pure, even sky-blue color, free from matrix or variation. Each stone is set within a smooth gold bezel that wraps and protects while letting the turquoise's vivid hue take center stage. The warm yellow gold creates a beautiful contrast with the gems’ cool blue, like sunlight meeting open sky or desert sand against cloudless heavens. Suspended as elegant drops, they catch the light with every movement, offering flashes of that signature Arizona blue that has captivated gem lovers for generations. These earrings offer a touch of the Southwest, refined into timeless everyday elegance.
There are two metal choices:
• Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Solid 18k yellow gold.
Turquoise’s roots stretch back to Ancient Egypt, where it was named Pierre Tourques (or Turkish stone) for the traders who brought it to Europe. It is believed to bestow hope, success, protection, and courage.
Turquoise is one of the birthstones for December and marks the 6th or 11th anniversary.
