Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Drop Earrings, Sterling Silver

Handcrafted in my North Carolina studio.

There’s turquoise—and then there’s Sleeping Beauty Turquoise. Prized for its brilliant, unmistakable blue, these beautiful nuggets create a cascade of color that moves gracefully with you. Each naturally shaped gemstone has its own subtle variations, giving these earrings the character and individuality that only genuine turquoise can provide.

Designed to make a statement without feeling overdone, their dramatic 2-inch drop brings a beautiful sweep of blue alongside the face, while polished sterling silver adds just the right amount of shine. Pair them with a crisp white blouse and jeans or a favorite black dress—these are the earrings you reach for when you want the jewelry to be remembered.
