For many cultures, ear piercings represent a life milestone, and Turquoise earrings such as Turquoise Post earrings are among the most memorable forms of jewelry. Throughout history, post earrings have been crafted of numerous materials including shell, bone, and precious metals and gemstones. Turquoise post earrings have been thought to promote clear thought and improved communication. Styles of turquoise earrings also include the hoop and French hook as well as the Turquoise Post Earring in Sterling Silver or 14K Gold.

Turquoise Post Earrings or Turquoise Stud earrings are the simplest, but sophisticated style of earrings. Although, the Turquoise Post Earrings can have a dangle attached to them, they are traditionally a single stone set or inlaid stones on a post mount. Turquoise post earrings are designed so that the stone is the primary focus of the earring. Other styles of earrings also incorporate the post mounting into their design.

Turquoise is a soft stone; therefore, it can be cut into many shapes and sizes, which is why the Zuni Pueblo Indians preferred to use it to create petit point and needlepoint inlay designs in both Turquoise Silver Post Earrings and Turquoise Gold Post Earrings.
