Golden Hills Turquoise & Iolite Dangle Earrings

The Golden Hills Turquoise & Iolite Dangle Earrings pair one of the world's rarest turquoises with deep violet-blue iolite. Sky-blue Golden Hills turquoise, known for its lavender matrix, is paired with rich iolite on ethically sourced sterling silver ear wires.

At just under an inch long, they're dainty enough for every day and unusual enough to start conversations. They're one of a kind, so this is the only pair.

What Makes Golden Hills Turquoise So Rare

Golden Hills turquoise is mined in the mountains of Kazakhstan, where extreme winters limit mining to just a few months each year. It's prized for its pale sky-blue color and distinctive lavender veining, a combination you rarely see in turquoise. That limited supply is why collectors seek it out.

Why Iolite

Iolite is a violet-blue gemstone that seems to shift color as you move, from deep violet to soft blue-gray. Its rich tone picks up the lavender in the Golden Hills turquoise, tying the two stones together. Legend says Viking sailors used thin slices of iolite to find the sun on cloudy days.
