The Desert Tower, Desert Flower Earrings were inspired after a road trip to the southwest this summer. The turquoise is from a vintage collection and features old stock material. It’s called Candelaria turquoise and it’s a highly sought after turquoise from Nevada as the material from this mine is now rare! It’s also the most beautiful shade of blue I’ve seen!

Dangling below the turquoise is a handcrafted desert tower from copper and a paintbrush wildflower. I wanted to lean in to an asymmetrical design to compliment the stone pairing. In the sky of one of the towers is a 14k yellow gold-fill crescent moon.

These earrings are handcrafted from sterling silver and feature copper to emulate the sandstone towers. They are adorned on sterling silver lever-back ear wires and are approximately 2 1/4” in length and 5/8” wide. An ode to the southwest!
