Wild Flora Turquoise Flower Earrings

A true labor of love — these bold, sculptural flower earrings are entirely hand fabricated from sterling silver sheet and wire. Every petal is shaped, textured, and assembled by hand, making each pair genuinely one of a kind. At the center, a vivid cabochon of #8 Mine turquoise is set and surrounded by hand-formed sterling silver granules. The #8 Mine in Nevada is one of the most prized and collectible sources of American turquoise — and it's been closed for decades, making authentic #8 Mine stones increasingly rare. The rich teal-green color with characteristic matrix is unmistakable. Details: Fully hand fabricated from sterling silver sheet and wire Stone: Natural #8 Mine turquoise cabochon Sterling silver post backs Approximately 2.25 inches long Just under 14 grams each — substantial but surprisingly comfortable to wear One of a kind Don't let the size fool you — these have been worn and are remarkably comfortable for a statement earring of this scale. A wearable work of art straight from the bench. All my work is hand-forged from sterling and fine silver sheet and wire, start to finish. Stones are sourced directly from sustainable miners and lapidary artists. It’s the nature of handcrafted to have the possibility of slight imperfections. I see that as the beauty and character of handmade. Sterling silver develops a beautiful patina over time — a gentle buff with a soft jewelry cloth restores shine anytime.
