Turquoise and Cultured Freshwater Pearl 10K Dangle Earrings

You'll see the refined splendor of a bygone Venice in these Turquoise and Cultured Freshwater Pearl 10K Dangle Earrings. The piece's openwork, milgrain-trimmed, cross-shaped station hosts creamy, bezel-set, round and heart-shaped cuts of stabilized Iranian turquoise. Off-round, Chinese cultured freshwater pearls create a luminous border, and fill the dangle's metalwork.

A bezel-set, pear-cut stabilized turquoise links to the dangle, elegantly completing this tribute to the Renaissance-era Mediterranean's storied past.

About stabilized turquoise...
Moisture, skin oils and environmental factors can change the color of turquoise jewelry if left untreated. But stabilizing turquoise helps preserve the stone's normal color. Natural, mined turquoise nuggets are heated at a very low temperature for about a week, slowly drawing out moisture without damaging the texture. The stones are then placed into acrylic or polymer chemicals to replace water molecules. This stabilizes the stone and keeps its beauty and value intact.

Note: Gemstones and pearls are sometimes treated to enhance their natural beauty.   see details
