THE EARRINGS:
Made in a small two-stone-very wearable drop earring style, these earrings offer effortless elegance. These two-stone drop earrings aren’t trendy fads, but rather timeless classics that will never go out of fashion. The design keeps the emphasis firmly on the stones rather than on elaborate sterling work that might distract from them.

If you’re closely connected in the industry, then you may have heard of “Broken Arrow Variscite” & those seriously deep green colors that come out of the Broken Arrow mine! That is the color that these remind me of.. So if you prefer greens over blues, you’ll love the rich, nuanced color in these gems.! They transition beautifully from day to night, and are set in contemporary sterling silver with a mirror-polished finish for a refined understated look.
*************************
***PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
Even though the stones are very closely matched in both color & size, these are still what are called "Non-Calibrated" cuts with a "Free Form" oval-ish shape. When these were assembled, matching the color and the specific mine as closely as possible was prioritized over exact size and shape. They were intentionally not made to be perfectly identical, (Calibrated) though they are closely matched as much as possible.

Because of their free form shape, can make earrings with non-calibrated stones vary slightly in length and or width. So please study all photos carefully before purchasing—if stones that aren’t flawlessly identical would bother you, these may not be the best choice. I do have many more earrings available to choose from.

PLEASE NOTE WHAT DICTATES THE PRICE
****You are paying for the turquoise in these.. Natural untreated turquoise will always cost more than stabilized. Also factored into the price for these, is Federico’s name and decades old reputation in the industry, the fluctuating price of sterling, the number of carats and the cost per carat for natural turquoise. Also included is the need to compensate the artisan (And or staff) for the time and expertise required to make them for Federico. These are just some of the elements that together explain and contribute to the higher final price of these earrings. Anything made with Larry Cooley turquoise will always come with a higher price tag, due to the quality & limited supply (To learn about Larry, please click on this link: (He’s the 2nd one down)

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color as much as I can. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (oranges, greens) can come up a little more vivid than other colors,so please take this into consideration. Please understand that each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears.
