When we first saw purple turquoise, we knew instantly: this was a stone the Stauer gang would fall in love with. Turquoise has always been the favorite — timeless, soulful, and rooted in the American Southwest — but this rare purple expression adds a fresh, poetic twist. Our designers were inspired by the riders of the purple sage, where wide-open skies meet desert mystery, and by the Southwest itself, where purple blooms surprise you against sunbaked earth — lavender cactus flowers, desert verbena, twilight lupine. These earrings capture that magic beautifully, set in an oxidized sterling silver finish that perfectly complements the stone’s cool violet tones. The rich purple veining flows through the turquoise enhanced by our team of gemologists, making every piece entirely one of a kind. It feels familiar yet thrillingly new, like discovering a secret canyon at sunset. When purple turquoise appeared this year, we didn’t hesitate — we knew true turquoise lovers would adore it.
