Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Teardrop Earrings

Sleeping Beauty turquoise is prized for one thing, a clean, robin's-egg sky blue, and these earrings use it in every size. One large faceted briolette hangs front and center with two smaller drops beside it. Tiny stacked turquoise beads dangle from the curve of the hoop, so the whole bottom edge swings and shimmers with every turn of your head, almost like fringe made of sky. The hand-textured 14K goldfilled teardrop stays open and light above, so even with all that stone the earrings never feel heavy. Wear them with a plain white tee and let the blue do the talking. ~2.5 inches.
