Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, or Arizona turquoise is a rare variety that bears few matrix lines or markings, has a vibrant teal color and higher refraction than its less sparkly turquoise relatives. This stone hails from the Sleeping Beauty mine (now closed) in Arizona, and is popular among stone collectors, especially since the mine has ceased operations.
Turquoise is a stone of peace, good fortune and protection from negativity. It also represents the month of December and the sign of Sagittarius.
Moonstone is a highly sought gemstone that is not only prized for its color shifting beauty, but it is also reputed to be a stone of divine feminine energy and represents the month of June and sign of Gemini.
Each stone is faceted in a diamond shape, hand wired and suspended from simplistic, handcrafted french hooks with extra long backs to prevent loss.
The size of the turquoise stones is 10mm and the dainty moonstones measure 5x9mm.
The total length of the earring is approximately 1.75 inches from the top of the hook to the base of the stones.
<><><> An Important Note on Our Natural Gemstones & Pearls <><><>
All stones & pearls used in our designs are 100% natural. The images in the item descriptions are a fair representation of the stones/pearls you will receive, however, the stones/pearls are not resin filled, color treated or lab created, so no two stones will ever be completely identical to each other or the listing photos. Raw gems and crystals especially may vary a bit in color, surface texture and shape. This is to be expected.
Understand also that lighting in our photos may differ from the lighting in your home, which also impacts color appearance.
Minor inclusions or surface irregularities are COMPLETELY NORMAL for natural stones and should not be considered defects. Considering all this, we absolutely take extreme care to select the very best of the best of our supply when creating your jewelry, and we do not send anything less than stones & pearls that we would be proud to wear or gift ourselves.
Should you find yourself to be unhappy with the color or general appearance of a stone or pearl we have sent you, PLEASE contact us first prior to leaving feedback. We are always happy to set up a return or exchange.
****Our silver jewelry is made with .925 sterling silver wire, chain and clasps. Nickel free and will never chip, flake, change color or cause skin irritations. Safe to wear every single day. Most of the charms and components are 100% sterling silver as well. Silver loves to be worn and is safe to wear in water but should not come in contact with harsh chemicals. Sterling silver is prone to tarnish over time. There is nothing that will completely prevent tarnishing, but we do the best we can to help our customers minimize it on their jewelry by including the anti-tarnish storage bag and polishing cloth with your order.
****Our gold jewelry is made with 14k gold filled chain, wire and clasps. The term gold filled means that it is a solid layer of pure gold(14k), bonded to a base metal such as brass, but wears like solid gold. It is not recommended to be worn in water. It is still hypo-allergenic, nickel free and will never chip, flake, change color or cause skin irritations. Some of our designs may incorporate components from a third party that are bronze, or a vermeil style gold plate. This is 40 micro inches of 98.5% pure gold plated over sterling silver with a fine layer of nickel in between and finished with a nano-polymer coating to protect the surface and repel oxidation. This will be the same for our rose gold products. If you have a question about metals used in a certain design, please ask!
--->Your jewelry will arrive gift boxed with a protective storage baggie and polishing cloth to ensure proper care and enjoyment for years to come!
