Composite turquoise - natural turquoise material stabilized and reconstituted for consistency - delivers the characteristic sky-blue-to-teal color of turquoise in a form that maintains even color and durability in set jewelry. At 8mm round cabochon, these studs have the smooth, domed surface that shows turquoise's color at its most appealing - no faceting to interrupt the continuous color wash. Small lab-created white sapphire accents add precise sparkle around the turquoise, creating contrast between the opaque blue of the stone and the brilliant transparency of the sapphire. A color statement earring for the customer who loves turquoise's organic, earthy energy in a contemporary stud format.
