Turquoise Desert Earrings

Long, light-catching drops bring a bohemian note to casual outfits. These pierced earrings are made in antiqued, burnished silvertone and set with reconstituted turquoise stones, giving them a warm, weathered look rather than a bright, shiny one. At 3½ inches long, they hang low enough to frame the face but stay comfortable for all-day wear. They pair naturally with denim, linen and earthy tones, and they work as well for festival season as for a weekend lunch. One note worth knowing: reconstituted stones are made by bonding gemstone fragments or powder with adhesive. They offer vivid, consistent colouring with few natural inclusions, though they don’t carry the same value as natural gemstones.
