What a fun pair of mismatched stud earrings! This pair has one 6 mm round turquoise and one 6 × 8 mm odd-shaped opal in pretty shades of aqua, green and pink. Both stones are set completely in sterling silver. The stones complement each other so nicely and are the perfect, unusual studs! You could wear them in the same ear or one in each ear.

***Turquoise was one of the first gems to be mined. It gets its blue color from a combination of copper and aluminum. Turquoise is an alternate birthstone for December. Associated with the throat chakra, turquoise has long been considered a protective stone by many different cultures.***

***Opal is found in the desert of Queensland, Australia. It forms in cracks or as a coating on the surface of sandstone or ironstone. It is thought to assist in emotional and mental balance and can help alleviate depression. Opal is believed to channel a protective energy and can benefit all chakras. It is one of the birthstones for October.***

Made with some fun in my sunny, Sonoran Desert Studio. xo
