Turquoise Teardrop Earrings, Gold-Filled
For the woman who wears her history proudly, every line and every wild turn of it. Those are the parts that make you beautiful.
Turquoise Meaning: The Earth's Fingerprints
The matrix in turquoise is the rock it grew in, the earth leaving its fingerprints on the sky. For thousands of years turquoise has been carried as a protection stone by travelers and wanderers.
Every pair is a different stone. Some lean sky blue, some lean green, and the matrix running through each one is its own little abstract painting. No two pairs alike, and that's the whole point.
Turquoise Teardrop Earrings Details
A little piece of sky with the earth running through it. Each turquoise teardrop is wrapped in a gold vermeil bezel and hangs from a gold-filled hook, just 3/4" long. Small enough to wear every single day, bright enough that people ask about them.
- Gemstone: Stabilized turquoise teardrop, 10 mm x 10 mm
- Bezel: Gold vermeil (gold over sterling silver)
- Ear wire: Gold-filled hooks
- Length: 3/4" from the top of the hook to the bottom of the stone
- Birthstone: December
- Color season: Autumn
How to Wear Them
With a denim jacket and boots, a cream sweater, or a simple black tee that lets the blue pop. Stack them with other turquoise, or wear them as the one bright thing.
Natural Gemstone Variation
The photos show one of these pairs. Every turquoise has its own color and matrix, so your pair will be uniquely yours, and the two stones may not match exactly.
Jewelry Care
Take them off before swimming, showering or exercising, and put them on after lotion and perfume. Turquoise is porous, so keep it away from water and chemicals. Wipe the stones and metal with a soft, dry cloth and store them dry.
