These silver and turquoise earrings are perfect for any occasion and just about any style of clothes. They feature small hammered sterling silver rings at the top. Two real turquoise beads dangle below, adding movement. I enjoyed playing with the different colors and shapes of the beads - these are the last I have, so I won't be making any more earrings like these. The wire used, the little bead caps and ear wires are all sterling silver. Turquoise is one of December's birthstones!
SIZE: These earrings hang just a hair longer than 2 inches. The rings at the top are about 3/8 inches in diameter. Each earring weighs about 2 grams.
MATERIALS: Sterling silver, Nacozari Turquoise (Mexico)
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from various sources): Turquoise is sacred to both Native American and oriental traditions. It is said to help promote honest and clear communication. In traditional thought, Turquoise unites the earth and the sky, bringing together male and female energies. This stone is supposed to be empathetic and balancing and assist creative problem-solving. Turquoise is one of December's birthstones.
