Turquoise Drop Earrings — Sterling Silver with Arizona Turquoise
SKU: mte 1392
Handcrafted Turquoise Drop Earrings in Sterling Silver
Turquoise has been treasured for thousands of years by the ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Native peoples of the American Southwest, and that warm, vivid blue-green is one of nature's most distinctive colours. The turquoise cubes in these earrings come from Arizona, where some of the world's finest turquoise has been mined for centuries, and are set in handcrafted sterling silver by skilled artisans in Mexico.
Designed by Makers & Providers in Australia, the cube cut gives the stone a clean, modern shape without losing its warmth. At 34mm long with a 5mm × 5mm × 5mm cube, they have presence without weight, and look just as good with a linen shirt on a summer afternoon as with something for the evening.
Turquoise is a natural stone, so each pair varies a little in colour and pattern, and no two are exactly alike. For more natural stone jewellery, see our semi precious stone drop earrings collection or our earrings collection. For more on the history and meaning of turquoise, the GIA's turquoise guide is an authoritative read.
