JEWELRY DESIGN SPOTLIGHT
These carved turquoise cabochons began as a matched pair. Their mirrored shape, floral carving, and natural matrix suggested a sculptural butterfly design built around the stones themselves.
Warm yellow gold, hessonite garnets, and a textured central body add contrast while preserving the original silhouette and carved floral detail of the turquoise.
