Earthy Turquoise Earrings, Little Classic for Everyday

I've been going somewhat crazy over Turquoise lately & these earrings are the latest creations. Like a lot of the pieces I love creating, they are outwardly simple, yet they have unmistakable original, organic & handcrafted details. I'm sure they would lend themselves to be one of the most often used pieces.



Each ear hook is individually handcrafted from sterling silver wire: melted, forged, bended, twisted, hammered, oxidized, filed, until it looks like a cross between a petal & marquise shape - one of my favourite shapes for the ear wires. They are not too long & not too short & look great with shorter & longer hair with the overall drop being just over 4cm.

Turquoise beads are a gem of a find - they're a luscious 12 to 13mm in diameter, which is perfect to create an impact with their gorgeous earthy organic matrix & cerulean-Robbin's egg-sky-with a tinge of lagoon blue colour. Yet, being natural Turquoise, which is chalky & as such fairly light stone, they are light enough to wear all day long. The added benefit of these stones, is that they are beautifully, carefully stabilized - you get the natural look, the original matrix, the gorgeous colour, but with strength that will make sure that you can wear them as often as you like, as long as you like.Handcrafted Natural Organic Round Turqu0ise Gemstone Earrings on Folksy

Natural Turquoise .... Petals Necklace

Recently found this gorgeous natural Turquoise gemstones in beautiful green & blue tones with characteristic veins & earthy inclusions that add lots of character & uniqueness to each piece. While being natural gemstone & not dyed, this Turquoise is skillfully stabilized for strength - the stabilization is of very high quality & does not deter from or enhance the natural beauty of this gemstone, while making it strong enough for continuous wear. Those of you familiar with natural, un-enhanced Turquoise will know how brittle & absorbing the gemstone is, so a skillful enhancement that doesn't change the look of this gorgeous gemstone is very welcome.

First in creations is this Petals Necklace. Simple & versatile. Something that can be worn every day & with just about anything. It is made with oxidized sterling silver but can also be made in bright sterling silver on request.
