Turquoise Matrix Teardrop Earrings, Gold-Filled, 1 3/4"
Turquoise with a story written right on it. Each bright teardrop is full of dark matrix, swirls of black and rusty brown running through the blue like a map of where the stone has been. They're wire wrapped by hand in flat gold-filled wire and hung from a gold-filled link on gold-filled hooks, so they swing and catch the light.
No two stones are alike, and that's the whole point. Bold enough to say something, easy enough for every day.
Handmade in North Boulder
Made by hand in the FILOSOPHY studio in North Boulder, Colorado.
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.
It's for the woman who wears her history proudly, every line and every wild turn of it. Those are the parts that make you beautiful.
