Sonoran Beauty Turquoise post earrings with vintage patina and gorgeous turquoise center stones surrounded by repoussé work. Handmade by Navajo silversmith Rita Lee.
REPOUSSÈis a traditional Navajo jewelry-making technique. In repoussé, the metal is softened and hammered by hand from the reverse side, to create the low-relief pattern on the front side of the piece.
SONORAN BEAUTY TURQUOISE hails from Mexico and is a gorgeous blue turquoise. Sonoran Beauty is a "stabilized turquoise". Stabilization is the process of hardening a stone that is considered "too soft" to work with. It requires that the stone is exposed to high temperatures and then left to dry. This removes excess moisture from the stone and allows for a hardening agent to be added.
