These silver turquoise post earrings, also named The Aspen Earrings, are both fun and fabulous.

Magnificent turquoise gemstones sit within silver bezel cups.  Not only do they have a unique shape, but the copper striations make them even more special.  The cut of the turquoise is referred to as trillion.

Equally important are the three silver leaves that the post portion is comprised of.  A single “berry” accents these leaves.

Different types of metal were used to handcraft these lovely earrings:

• First – Argentium silver was used for the accents and the leaves.
• Second – The base of the bezel and both posts and ear nuts are sterling silver
• The bezel is fine silver.

Turquoise gemstones are both classic and timeless.  Afterall, “some experts think turquoise is the first gemstone ever mined”.  Yet in spite of that, these silver turquoise post earrings are very contemporary and chic.
