Number 8 Turquoise Dangle Earrings • Sterling or Argentium • Seamless Drop
Old‑school Nevada Number 8 turquoise set in sterling or Argentium silver — lightweight, rustic, and finished with a seamless soldered ear wire for a clean, uninterrupted drop.
🪶 Materials + Options
• Number 8 turquoise — 6mm cabochons with natural variation
• Bezel — serrated or smooth
• Ear wires — hand‑forged sterling or Argentium (20g standard; 18g available)
• Finish — oxidized or shiny sterling
🪶 Ear Wire Standard
Commercial ear wires are usually 21g or thinner — not my style.
My standard is 20g: sturdy, comfy, and built to last.
18g is available if you like your ear wires extra tough. Most folks can wear 18g unless their piercing is still a “baby” that hasn’t been broken in yet.
📏 Measurements
• Approx. ¾ inch long
• Lightweight for everyday wear
🌿 Variation Note
Mother Nature doesn’t take requests — each stone has its own patterning and color mix.
If you’d like to pick your exact stones, just message me and I’ll send options.
💎 Sterling vs Argentium
• Sterling Silver — 92.5% pure silver; naturally tarnishes over time but shines right back up with a little elbow grease.
• Argentium Silver — 94% pure silver; stays brighter longer, resists tarnish, and needs way less elbow grease to keep looking good.

💙 About Number 8 Turquoise
Number 8 turquoise comes from the historic Nevada mine known for its desert blues and warm brown matrix. The mine closed decades ago, so every stone comes from older, limited material — part of what makes these earrings special.
