gemstone band rings

Make a statement with this bohemian earring set by Maria Belen Nilson. She combines smooth turquoise beads with silver teardrops and decorative filigree touches. A flower holds each one of the ear wires.

Born in Argentina, Maria Belen moved to Mexico as a young woman. After living all over the country, she moved to Taxco where she worked as an apprentice under some of the town's best-known masters. She now runs her own workshop where she creates designs that honor the traditions of her adopted homeland.
