Alanna Earrings - ER1468E7

The top bead is carved turquoise and the bottom one is faceted onyx.

The colour contrast is striking and the two pieces make each other more striking by the presence of the other.The shine of the onyx with elegance of facets is delightfully opposite of the rough texture of the carved turquoise.

Turquoise has been a highly valued stone throughout history and is considered to be the first stone that was mined.

The oldest excavated turquoise beads date back to 5000 B.C. in Iraq.
