Turquoise Stud Hoop Earrings

A textured sterling silver hoop with a natural turquoise stone set directly on the hoop face — the effect is somewhere between a stud and a hoop, which is exactly what makes these interesting. Each stone is natural and slightly different in color and matrix. Available in Kingman Turquoise (classic medium blue, Arizona) and Sonoran Gem Turquoise (rich, saturated blue-green, Mexico). Both versions sit on a textured hoop that catches light in a way a plain hoop does not. Each pair is unique — natural stone variation means no two are exactly alike. Details: Stone: Natural turquoise — choice of Kingman or Sonoran Gem (pair) Setting: Sterling silver, stone set directly on hoop face Hardware: Textured sterling silver hoop with click closure Hoop size: 35mm All my work is hand-forged from sterling and fine silver sheet and wire, start to finish. Stones are sourced directly from sustainable miners and lapidary artists. It's the nature of handcrafted to have the possibility of slight imperfections. I see that as the beauty and character of handmade. Sterling silver develops a beautiful patina over time — a gentle buff with a soft jewelry cloth restores shine anytime.
