A beautiful expression of faith and Southwestern artistry, these handcrafted sterling silver cross earrings showcase the timeless pairing of vibrant red coral and coveted Sleeping Beauty Turquoise. Each cross is adorned with five rich coral cabochons surrounding a brilliant Sleeping Beauty Turquoise center stone, creating a striking contrast of color that has long been treasured in Native American jewelry. Sterling silver beadwork accents add depth and dimension to the design, while the graceful dangle style allows the earrings to move beautifully with every step. The vivid red coral symbolizes warmth, life, and strength, while the bright blue turquoise center evokes open desert skies and the enduring spirit of the Southwest. What makes these earrings especially collectible is the use of genuine Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, one of the most sought-after turquoise varieties in the world. Mined in Globe, Arizona, the Sleeping Beauty Mine ceased turquoise production in 2012, making authentic material increasingly rare and highly prized among collectors. Known for its pure sky-blue color and minimal matrix, Sleeping Beauty remains one of the most recognizable and desirable turquoise varieties ever mined. The coral featured in these earrings is equally significant. High-quality natural coral has become increasingly difficult to source due to harvesting restrictions and limited availability, making coral jewelry more collectible with each passing year. The combination of genuine coral and Sleeping Beauty Turquoise brings together two treasured materials whose rarity continues to grow. Hallmarked S.
