Elemental Earrings — Royston Turquoise
Elemental Earrings
Royston Turquoise & Hand-Forged Brass
Stone and metal both carry the marks of how they were formed. Royston turquoise holds the colors and patterns of the earth within its matrix, while forged brass records every strike, fold, and texture left by the hand.
The Elemental Earrings bring those surfaces together in a design that feels raw yet refined. In this variation, richly patterned Royston turquoise is set against warm, textured brass, creating a strong contrast between blue-green stone and darkened, golden metal.
The Stones
-
Genuine Royston turquoise — sourced from the Royston mining district in Nevada, known for distinctive shades of green and blue crossed by natural earthy matrix
-
Naturally one of a kind — variations in color, matrix, shape, and surface character ensure that no two stones are exactly alike
The Craft
The brass is cut, formed and textured by hand, creating an organic surface and softly ruffled edges. Each setting responds to the individual shape and character of its stone rather than forcing the pair into perfect uniformity.
The earrings are finished with 14/20 gold-filled ear wires and designed to feel lightweight and comfortable while retaining a bold, sculptural presence.
Elemental Earrings are an evolving Artisana Designs series built around natural turquoise and hand-worked metal. Future pairs may share this distinctive silhouette and textural composition, but each will take its character from the stones selected for it.
Inspired by the land. Refined by hand.
Care
Natural metals may oxidize and deepen in color over time. This evolving patina is part of their character; if you prefer a brighter finish, gently polish the exposed metal with a soft jewelry cloth, avoiding stones and intentionally darkened areas.
