Turquoise Dangle Earrings, Sterling Silver, Blue Teardrop Cabochon, Natural Gemstone, Handmade Statement Jewelry

The teardrop cabochons in this pair of earrings are a deep, saturated blue-green. Fine dark mottling dances across the surface in a pattern that gives the color texture and depth, rather than flatness. The color changes slightly depending on the light, deepening indoors, but brightening up outside.

Each stone sits in a sterling silver bezel. A small textured open circle sits above each bezel, flanked by two silver spheres where the loop meets the stone. 

Hallmarked Blue Piranha and .925. Earrings measure 1¼ inches (3.2 cm) long from the top of the ear wire, and ½ inch (1.3 cm) wide. Weight to be added. Set on sterling silver ear wires.

A lever back option is available, please see photos and note your preference at checkout.

Your purchase arrives gift boxed, presented in a soft pouch with a story card.

Good for: the woman who values deep, rich, classic turquoise. Becoming the pair she wears with everything, because everything looks better next to this color. For the woman who wants something small enough for every day that still attracts attention.

About Turquoise:

Turquoise is one of the oldest gemstones in continuous use, prized by ancient Egyptians, Persians, Tibetans, and the Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest for thousands of years. Its coloring ranges from pale sky blue to deep blue-green depending on the ratio of copper to iron in its composition: copper produces the blue, iron shifts it toward green. The five major turquoise-producing regions of the world are the American Southwest, Iran, China, Mexico, and Tibet, and each produces stones with a distinct character. The stones in these earrings come from Hubei Province in central China, a source known for deep, saturated blue-green color and fine dark patterning.
