Crocheted gold color thread earrings with turquoise and Swarovski crystals. The thread is a light gold color smooth passing thread which is cotton core coated with a golden polymer OR these earrings can be made in 18 karat gold thread. Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans and warriors. It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, healing to the eye, as if carved from an azure heaven and slipped to earth. The crystals are vintage, 18mm foiled Swarovski crystals. Swarovski are manmade gems manufactured in Austria. They are precision-cut, beautiful, high quality lead glass crystals using quartz, sand and minerals. They are the most recognized crystals in the world.
