🌿 The Turquoise
Each pair features genuine Number 8 turquoise, one of the most sought-after American turquoise varieties. Mined in Nevada, Number 8 is especially valued by collectors because the mine closed decades ago, making the stone increasingly difficult to find. Known for its beautiful soft blue color and distinctive character, it's a longtime favorite among turquoise lovers. Expect variations in color, matrix, and pattern. No two stones and no two pairs will ever be exactly alike.
🛠️ Handmade Note
Each earring is individually shaped, soldered, oxidized, and finished by hand. Small variations are part of the handmade process and add to the character of each piece.
