These handcrafted hoops measure about 2" in diameter and feature some nugget-style old stock (this just means it's material that was extracted years ago but only now hitting the market) Kingman turquoise form Arizona.
I framed these babies with a half-border of bead wire and the ear wires are sterling silver, as always. The backs of each stone are stamped with my maker's mark and STERLING. This is the only set of earrings in this drop that I made in this style, with an ear wire and then the stone with the hoop below. Let me know if yall would like to see more like this!
Handmade by me, Stephanie Stamp, under the sunny skies of New Mexico. Turquoise is considered a relatively soft and porous stone, and as with all silver based jewelry, this gem should be taken off when showering, applying lotion, etc. to avoid discoloration of the stone and to keep this piece in beautiful condition for years to come!
