These earrings are made from  real 5mm turquoise beads. They are wrapped with silver wire. These beads have very dominant characteristic veins throughout the stone creating a Native Indian feeling in the jewelry but the style brings forth a very dainty expression.

    Turquoise may be the longest-used of all gemstones. Beads have been dated back as far as 5000B.C. Different cultures hold different beliefs in the power of turquoise. It is said to have great healing properties. Indians believed it was protective so they would adorned there horses with turquoise before going into battle. The most interesting piece of research I just discovered is that turquoise is said to open the throat chakra, making it more effortless for one to articulate & bring forth ones wisdom. The history of jewelry once held more meaning that just to ornament our bodies. Jewelry was made and worn as powerful talismans and amulets.
