Turquoise Drop Earrings

Handcrafted with Sonora turquoise, these earrings celebrate the vivid blue-green hues of one of Mexico’s most beloved stones. Each teardrop-shaped centerpiece is framed in a delicate double filigree border, echoing the elegance of feathered plumes often seen in pre-Hispanic adornments. Tiny turquoise beads are woven throughout the border, adding subtle movement and layered detail. Made by hand with traditional wirework techniques, this design is both a statement of artistry and a tribute to the natural beauty of Mexico’s minerals.
