American Turquoise Earrings 001
The pieces of turquoise set in sterling silver was purchased from a “old timer” lapidary guy from San Diego. He was downsizing his inventory and sold me a box of different turquoise cabs that he swore were all from the American Southwest. Since I can’t pinpoint exactly where these pieces of turquoise are from, I just call them American Turquoise. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful piece that should be added to anyone’s turquoise jewelry collection. And it is a “One of a kind” piece.
Each individual earring weighs: 3 grams
*Some of these turquoise stones have been stabilized for strength and durability.
Care: Turquoise stones can range in color from bright blue to green. Though turquoise is a porous stone, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, cosmetics and heat can cause the color of a Turquoise gemstone to change. This can be avoided with care and attention by cleaning your gemstone with a soft cloth and water.

White Horse Earrings 002
Authentic White Horse Howlite.
Individual Earring Weighs: 4 grams
All of our handmade jewelry designs are one of a kind. The stone in this piece is Howlite from the USA that we call White Horse. A large howlite stone was given to me by a lapidary expert. This particular howlite had the most amazing black and brown matrix of any other howlite I have come across. So with this stone I was able to create a number of beautiful pieces of jewelry.
Sometime referred as “White Buffalo” or “White Turquoise”, howlite is a creamy white calcium borosilicate hydroxide with more of grey erratic veining. It does not have the same mineral properties as turquoise. The grey matrix is, however, a differentiating marker that makes it a different stone.
White howlite carries a whole host of healing properties that help to soothe the mind, the body and the spirit.
The silversmith, which is all sterling silver, is done in-house and stamped with my unique ‘Wave Horse’ logo. My logo represents my love of surfing and horses.
Care: Like turquoise, howlite is a porous stone and should be handled with care. Keep this piece away from chemicals, lotions, etc. Use a soft cloth to clean the stone and silver.
