Taza Golden Hills Turquoise Hoop Earrings
Description
Taza Golden Hills Turquoise Hoop Earrings | 14K Gold Filled or Sterling Silver
A modern, light-catching take on rare turquoise—hand-shaped from start to finish in our studio. Named Taza—the Kazakh word for "pure"—these earrings celebrate the untamed beauty of natural Golden Hills Turquoise. Responsibly sourced from the icy steppes of Kazakhstan, this rare stone can only be mined during the freezing winter months, giving it a brief, exclusive harvesting window. It's celebrated worldwide for its signature periwinkle-to-lavender-blue hues and rich, deep chocolate matrix.
Each 1.5-inch hoop is shaped by hand in our studio and lightly hammered for an organic, light-reflecting texture. Designed without standard ear wires, the hoops feature a custom, handmade closure seamlessly integrated into the wirework for a sleek, continuous silhouette. Dangling below is a 0.5-inch two-stone drop of genuine Golden Hills turquoise, bringing the total drop length to 2 inches.
Available in your choice of 14K Gold Filled or Sterling Silver.

Why we love it: It turns classic turquoise jewelry on its head through clean, thoughtful studio design and extraordinary stone origin. Knowing this turquoise is extracted during a short, freezing winter window makes its soft lavender-blue glow feel all the more special. Paired with our fluid, hand-hammered hoops it's a sleek, contemporary statement piece with a story to tell.
Care Tip from the Studio: Turquoise is a natural, porous stone. To protect the brilliance of your gems and preserve your metal finish, apply hairspray, perfumes, and cosmetics prior to putting on your earrings. Store in a soft pouch away from direct moisture.

GENERAL CARE TIPS FOR ALL JEWELRY:
- Storage Matters: When not being worn, store your jewelry in a dry, air-tight container. A plastic bag is ideal for this purpose.
- Avoid Water Exposure: All jewelry is waterproof, but it’s not mineral or chemical proof. Minimize exposure to pools, saunas, and beaches. The minerals and chemicals in these environments can cause oxidation.
- Limit Contact with Products: It's best to avoid sunscreens, lotions, oils, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, body washes and perfumes. The chemical additives in these products can affect the metal's finish. It’s always best to remove your pieces if there is a possibility of coming into contact with any additives.
- Remove During Activity: To prevent damage, remove your jewelry before working out or sleeping.
- Handle with Care: Be mindful when handling your jewelry to avoid scratches or impacts.
