THIS LISTING IS ONLY FOR A PAIR OF EARRINGS!
Ovals - 1⅜” x ¾”
These earrings are built in layers. Behind each stone visible above the cabochon like a rising moon a hand-reticulated sterling silver disc rises in a hammered, textured form whose surface catches light in the complex way that only reticulated silver does. In front of it, a large oval Kingman turquoise cabochon measuring 1⅜” x ¾” sits in a full twisted rope border bezel vivid aqua-teal with warm golden matrix moving through it in broad, confident sweeps, the color saturated and alive, the matrix bold enough to read across a room.
The composition works because the two elements speak different languages that somehow agree. The reticulated disc is all texture and movement silver that was heated to its threshold and allowed to find its own surface before being fixed in place. The turquoise is all color and stillness a stone that formed over millions of years and has not moved since. Behind and before. Silver and stone. Together they make something that neither could make alone.
Sterling shepherd hooks complete the earrings with easy natural movement. At 1⅜” these are substantial earrings present, confident, and entirely at home on the collarbone or the ear of someone who knows exactly what they are wearing.
