Meticulously handcrafted by Navajo silversmith Bonnie Benally, these earrings showcase two deeply striated Number Eight turquoise stones encircled by sterling silver drops. Benally creates a harmonious blend of natural beauty and craftsmanship through this classic motif.

Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the Number Eight Turquoise Mine was first mined in 1929. Turquoise is no longer collected there, as efforts have been redirected to the mine’s gold deposits. An easily identifiable stone, darker shades of Number Eight turquoise are considered the most valuable.
