Turquoise everyday wear suitability is protective bezels managing the surface contact that the stone's hardness makes problematic, with pendants and earrings providing the position advantage that keeps the stone in regular use.
Made With Purpose
A fish hook wire is a curve with an open end. Nothing closes behind it in the piercing, and the earring stays in because of its arc and the weight of the piece. A leverback wire ends at a hinged gate that snaps shut, converting the open curve into a fully closed loop with no exposed terminal end.
Value & Quality
Price point is a manufacturing and margin decision. Taste is something else entirely. Ross-Simons carries fine jewelry across multiple price points because it holds a specific conviction: that confidence shouldn't cost a fortune, and great taste has nothing to do with what you spent.
