This earthy pair of turquoise with beige and caramel matrix is from the Sonoran area of Mexico, not too far from Arizona. I've set them in sterling silver for a fairly simple pair of earrings. They measure 1 3/8-inches, (35 mm), from the top of the handmade ear wires to the bottom of the stones. Not too big and not too small. An easy pair of earrings to wear.

***Turquoise was one of the first gems to be mined. It gets its blue color from a combination of copper and aluminum. Turquoise is an alternate birthstone for December. Associated with the throat chakra, turquoise has long been considered a protective stone by many different cultures.***

Made one pair at a time in my Sonoran Desert studio. xo
