Pillars of the Earth - Turquoise

Turquoise gems are snugly fit together by hand on a single wire, making an organic pillar that appears to float weightlessly off the end of a silver wire spiral.  The wire is entirely hidden from the front of the earring, making i seem as if the stone chips are attached to each other with nothing at all!

Turquoise is one of the stones of Hathor, the Egyptian goddes of joy, love, dance, and music.  This well-known stone has been mined for thousands of years, with early mines in Sinai, Egypt already being worked out y 2000 BC.  Turquoise has long been considered a holy stone, a good-luck-charm, or a talisman in cultures spanning across the globe.  It is believed to promote good fortune, happiness, and long life.

Turquoise is the birthstone for those born in December.

Each of my Pillars of the Earth measure approximately 1" from the bottom of the ear wire.  Ear wires are made of Bali silver-plated copper and are hand forged, making each set truly unique!
