The Unique Stones & Their Origins:

• Spiny Oyster Shell – Sourced from the warm waters of the Gulf of California, this rare and vibrant shell has been used for centuries in Native American jewelry. Prized for its rich orange, red, and purple hues, spiny oyster adds a warm, organic touch to these earrings.
• Turquoise – A sacred stone among many Indigenous cultures, turquoise is often associated with protection and prosperity. The turquoise beads in these earrings bring a touch of soothing blue-green color, creating a beautiful contrast against the spiny oyster and onyx.
• Onyx – Known for its grounding energy, onyx is a deep black stone that enhances the bold, balanced design of these earrings. It is believed to provide strength and stability to the wearer.
