Authentic Turquoise Earrings & Native American Earrings
Find the pair that speaks to you.
Our earring collection brings together authentic turquoise, sterling silver, traditional silversmithing, and the unmistakable character of the American West. From simple turquoise studs and everyday dangles to bold statement earrings, every pair is selected for its craftsmanship, stone quality, and individual character.
Dakota Sky Stone has been a family-owned turquoise jewelry business since 1971. For four generations, our family has built relationships with Native American artists, silversmiths, and stone sources throughout the Southwest. Today, we continue that tradition by working directly with artists and carefully selecting jewelry that feels special enough to wear now and keep for generations.
Genuine Turquoise Earrings With a Story
No two pieces of natural turquoise are exactly alike.
The color, matrix, veining, and markings found within each stone are part of what makes turquoise so distinctive. You may find brilliant sky blues, deep blue-green tones, earthy brown matrix, or dramatic spiderweb patterns throughout our collection.
Our turquoise earrings may feature stones from well-known turquoise sources such as Kingman, Royston, Sleeping Beauty, Boulder turquoise, and other sought-after varieties depending on current availability.
Rather than trying to make every stone look identical, we celebrate those natural differences. They are part of the story of the stone and part of what makes your jewelry uniquely yours.
Native American Made Earrings
Many of the earrings in our collection are handcrafted by Native American artists and silversmiths from the Southwest, including Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi artisans.
We believe knowing who made a piece matters.
Whenever artist information is available, we identify the maker so you can better understand the craftsmanship behind the jewelry you are wearing. Many pieces are also artist stamped.
Styles can range from traditional sterling silver and turquoise designs to detailed stonework, inlay, stamped silver, clusters, crosses, geometric designs, and contemporary interpretations of Southwestern jewelry.
The result is a collection that feels rooted in tradition without feeling like something that needs to stay in a jewelry box.
These pieces are meant to be worn.
Sterling Silver Turquoise Earrings
Sterling silver and turquoise have been paired for generations, and it is easy to understand why.
The cool tone of sterling silver creates a natural contrast against turquoise, allowing the color and matrix of the stone to stand out. Depending on the artist and design, you may see smooth silver settings, stamped details, oxidized finishes, handmade bezels, silver drops, or more elaborate silversmithing.
Some earrings are understated enough for everyday wear. Others are built to become the centerpiece of an outfit.
That variety is part of what makes turquoise earrings so easy to collect.
Turquoise Stud, Drop & Dangle Earrings
Looking for something subtle?
Turquoise stud earrings and smaller post earrings are an easy way to add authentic turquoise to an everyday look without wearing a larger statement piece.
Want something with more movement?
Turquoise drop earrings and dangle earrings bring the stone closer to the face and can range from delicate designs to larger handcrafted pieces featuring multiple stones, silverwork, or longer silhouettes.
For collectors who love bold Southwestern jewelry, our larger statement earrings showcase the artistry of the silversmith and the natural beauty of the stones.
Because our inventory changes as one-of-a-kind pieces arrive and sell, the collection is always evolving.
Earrings Featuring Turquoise and Other Natural Stones
Turquoise may be what started our family's story, but you will find more than turquoise throughout Dakota Sky Stone.
Our earrings may also feature stones and materials such as:
- White Buffalo
- Spiny oyster
- Mother of pearl
- Coral
- Opalized wood
- Lapis
- Sonoran turquoise
- Royston turquoise
- Kingman turquoise
- Sleeping Beauty turquoise
- Boulder turquoise
- Other natural and collectible stones
Each stone has its own colors, patterns, and personality, giving you even more ways to find a pair that feels like you.
Western Earrings That Can Be Worn Your Way
Turquoise jewelry has strong roots in the American Southwest, but you do not need to save it for a Western outfit.
A small turquoise stud can add color to a simple everyday look. Sterling silver dangles pair easily with denim, boots, dresses, or layered jewelry. Larger turquoise statement earrings can stand on their own with almost anything.
Some customers build an entire look around turquoise.
Others simply wear the pair they love.
We think both are the right way to do it.
One-of-a-Kind Earrings Worth Holding Onto
Some jewelry is mass produced by the thousands.
This is different.
Many of the earrings we carry are handcrafted in limited quantities or are completely one of a kind. Natural stones vary, artists continually create new work, and certain turquoise varieties can become increasingly difficult to find.
That means a pair available today may not be something we can replace later.
If a piece calls to you, there is usually a reason.
That feeling is part of what has kept our family excited about turquoise jewelry for more than 50 years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turquoise Earrings
Are Dakota Sky Stone turquoise earrings made with real turquoise?
Yes. Dakota Sky Stone specializes in authentic turquoise jewelry and works directly with artists, mines, and trusted stone sources. Because turquoise is a natural stone, variations in color, matrix, and pattern are normal and are part of what makes each piece unique.
Are your earrings Native American made?
Many of our earrings are handcrafted by Native American artists, including Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi silversmiths. We also carry select South Dakota-made and U.S.-made jewelry. Artist and maker information is included on individual product pages whenever it is available.
How can I tell if turquoise earrings are real?
Natural turquoise commonly varies in color, matrix, pattern, and texture rather than looking perfectly uniform. Buying from an established seller that knows the artists and sources behind its jewelry is one of the best ways to shop with confidence. Dakota Sky Stone has worked with turquoise and Native American jewelry since 1971 and works directly with artists and stone sources.
Why do turquoise stones look different from one another?
Turquoise is a natural material formed under different geological conditions. The mine or region, surrounding host rock, mineral content, and formation process can influence its color and matrix. Those differences are why turquoise can range from clean sky blue to blue-green stones with dramatic brown or black matrix.
What are the most popular types of turquoise earrings?
Popular styles include turquoise stud earrings, post earrings, drop earrings, dangle earrings, cluster earrings, and larger statement earrings. Smaller designs are popular for everyday wear, while larger stone and sterling silver designs are often chosen as statement pieces.
What is the difference between Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi earrings?
Each artist has an individual style, so there are no absolute rules. Navajo jewelry is often associated with substantial sterling silver work and prominent stones, while Zuni artists are especially well known for intricate stone cutting and inlay techniques. Hopi silversmithing is widely recognized for detailed silver overlay work. The individual artist and craftsmanship are more important than relying on style alone to determine origin.
Can turquoise earrings be worn every day?
Many turquoise earrings can be worn regularly, particularly smaller studs and lightweight dangle styles. Turquoise is a natural stone, however, so it should be protected from harsh chemicals, perfumes, prolonged moisture, and unnecessary impact.
How should I care for turquoise and sterling silver earrings?
Store your earrings in a dry place when they are not being worn. Avoid exposing turquoise to cleaning chemicals, perfume, hairspray, chlorine, and prolonged water exposure. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time and may be gently polished with an appropriate silver polishing cloth while avoiding aggressive polishing of the stone itself.
Does turquoise change color over time?
Natural turquoise can sometimes change slightly with age or exposure to oils, moisture, cosmetics, and other environmental factors because turquoise can be porous. Proper storage and limiting contact with chemicals can help preserve its appearance.
Are turquoise earrings a good gift?
Yes. Turquoise earrings make an especially meaningful gift because every natural stone has its own color and character. Smaller studs and classic sterling silver designs are easy gift choices, while one-of-a-kind earrings can make a memorable anniversary, birthday, holiday, or milestone gift.
Is turquoise the December birthstone?
Yes. Turquoise is traditionally recognized as one of the birthstones for December, making genuine turquoise earrings a popular December birthday gift.
Do you sell one-of-a-kind turquoise earrings?
Yes. Many pieces in our collection are one of a kind or available only in very limited quantities because they are handmade and feature individual natural stones. Once a particular pair sells, an identical replacement may not be available.
Do the earrings I order look like the photos online?
For most Dakota Sky Stone jewelry, the piece shown in the product photography is the piece you will receive. When natural stones may vary between pieces, that information is noted on the individual product listing.
Can you help me find a specific turquoise mine, artist, or earring style?
Absolutely. If you are searching for a particular turquoise variety, Native American artist, size, or style and do not see it online, contact Dakota Sky Stone. We can also check inventory available at our Wall and Deadwood, South Dakota stores.
Our Story
Dakota Sky Stone has been part of our family since 1971, and after four generations, turquoise is more than what we sell — it is part of who we are.
What started with our family’s love of turquoise and sterling silver has grown into something we are incredibly proud to carry forward today. We work directly with Native American artists and silversmiths, hand-select stones, create many of our own design layouts in-house, and continue to make pieces within our own family.
We love the whole process — finding a stone with incredible color and character, imagining what it could become, working with the artists who bring those ideas to life, and then helping someone else find the piece that feels like it was meant for them.
That personal connection is what we want you to feel when you shop Dakota Sky Stone, whether you are visiting us in Wall or Deadwood, South Dakota, or shopping with us from home.
We are not just here to sell you jewelry. We want to help you find the turquoise you wear for years, the piece that reminds you of a trip, a milestone, or someone you love — and maybe someday becomes part of your own family story.
Looking for something special? Reach out to us. We are always happy to check our stores, look through what we have, and help you find the right piece.
Four generations. One legacy. Family-owned since 1971.
