- About The Fern-Like Turquoise Drop Post Earrings
Hand-made sawtooth bezels surround each tear drop or round turquoise stone. A silver tear drop frames each spiral-shaped pendant drop.
21 stones were selected for each earring. Their coloration shifts from a light electric blue to a serious saturated teal. Intentional variation in their color guarantees you will not tire of these exceptionally delicate, wearable Zuni earrings.
