A small shape that delivers a big look without too much effort.
The silhouette is a crescent-shaped semi-hoop with an open back that keeps the earring light on the lobe and gives the design a clean, airy profile. Six turquoise cabochons run along the form in that particular blue that turquoise does. Between them, white diamond accents add a crisp flash that keeps the color story bright. The setting is yellow gold over oxidized sterling silver, warm metal over darkened metal, a combination that gives the turquoise a richer backdrop than plain polished gold would and adds visual depth that single-metal versions can't produce.
The result is an earring that works on a Tuesday morning and a Saturday night without requiring any explanation.

FAQ
Will the turquoise color look exactly as it does on my screen?
Turquoise is one of the trickier stones to photograph accurately. Its particular blue-green shifts with light source and angle, and the contrast between the stone color, the yellow gold settings, and the darkened silver ground renders differently depending on monitor calibration, browser settings, and device display technology.
