№ 017 Turquoise
Hand carved Afghan turquoise beads are suspended in textured sterling silver rings.
Turquoise has traditionally been thought of as a stone to unite earth and sky. It is considered a strengthening stone while also instilling inner calm and enhancing intuition. I use turquoise that is hand carved in Afghanistan with bold cuts and a matte finish as well as more highly polished stones hand cut in China and India.
Earrings measure 1” from top of earwire. All metal used is oxidized sterling silver.
