The Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of the oldest and largest turquoise mines in the world. Nestled in the Acerbate Mountains of Arizona, Kingman was mined by prehistoric Native American tribes dating back over a thousand years. One of the first gemstones to be mined, Turquoise is considered a sacred stone by Native Americans of the Southwestern US where the dry, dessert landscape produces this mineral, believed to forge a connection between the celestial plane and that of the earth In ancient Egypt, another desert terrain, Turquoise was incorporated into protective amulets and royal adornments for the likes of King Tut and Queen Cleopatra, from circa 6000 BC.

  • Size: Our 14k Turquoise Elliptic Earrings are a sizable yet thin and lightweight arc or 14k Gold, approximately 1" long, and approximately .80 mm or 1/32" in thickness, the thickness of most standard ear wires.

Earrings have enjoyed a long history of being used as Adornment, by both men and women for thousands of years, dating back to at least 3000 B.C. Ear piercing is documented in artworks as one of the earliest forms of body modification or Adornment.
