Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Sterling Dangle Earrings

he Story and the Stone This pair of graduated drop earrings features the legendary Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, sourced from the now-closed mine in Globe, Arizona. Named after the mountain range that resembles a sleeping woman, this turquoise is world-renowned for its solid "robin’s egg" blue hue and lack of heavy matrixing. Because the mine ceased production in 2012, genuine specimens like these have transitioned from jewelry staples to highly sought-after collector's items. Each earring showcases a tiered design of round cabochons leading to a polished pear-cut teardrop at the base. Set in bright 925 sterling silver, the stones are secured with traditional bezels and accented with delicate silver beadwork. This "cascading" silhouette is designed to mimic the fluid movement of water, a sacred element in the high desert cultures where these stones were first prized. Weight: 2.5g Metal: 925 Sterling Silver Style: Graduated triple-stone dangle with pear-cut drop.
