These handmade Blackjack turquoise earrings showcase one of my favorite turquoise varieties available today – genuine Blackjack with its distinctive black matrix shot through with veins of robin's egg blue and hidden touches of green and gold. As a Colorado artisan, I'm always searching for unique turquoise stones that break away from traditional southwestern jewelry styles, and this pair delivers exactly that.
I designed these contemporary turquoise and silver earrings with clean, modern lines to highlight the natural turquoise stones. Those sterling silver prongs crossing each gemstone dangle earring aren't just decorative – they create visual tension that echoes the dramatic veining in these rare turquoise cabochons. This is alternative turquoise jewelry for those who appreciate southwestern stones with a modern twist.
What sets Blackjack turquoise apart from traditional turquoise jewelry is its sophisticated black matrix. These unique gemstone earrings have an almost marble-like quality that feels refined rather than rustic. When I first saw this pair of stones, I thought the pattern looked a bit like turquoise skulls. As natural turquoise stones, each features one-of-a-kind patterns – in certain lights, you'll discover flashes of gold and green hidden within the matrix. The silver compliments the stones with a soft satin finish.

I do NOT accept returns for:
To keep your silver jewelry looking like new, take that extra second to remove it before cleaning, bathing, swimming, or any activity that would cause excess wear and tear. Avoid exposing your jewelry to perfumes, lotions, soaps and other liquids, as well as extreme heat.
If your jewelry becomes dirty, clean with a soft cloth or soft tooth brush and a mild soap if necessary (I use Dawn), or polish with a silver polishing cloth.
Please note that polishing cloths are infused with an abrasive and will remove intentional patina along with the unwanted tarnish, so take
care not to accidentally polish off the patina!
Finally, as a best practice, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place with your complimentary anti-tarnish tab.
