Calvin Martinez is one of our favorite silversmiths because of the exacting workmanship that he brings to the fine details of his work. The stones he uses in his pieces are of fine quality and particularly well cut.
This is a large pair of earrings set with beautifully matching stones that Calvin cut from his collection of rough natural turquoise. This is a deep blue-green coloration specific to Chinese turquoise and we've bought pieces that Calvin has set with this hand-cut stone over the years. Do pay attention to the dimensions of the stones and the weight cited below before ordering, or you risk being surprised by the size of these.
