The Aquitaine earrings in Turquoise 🦋 These half-hoop stud earrings are adorned with either bezel-set malachite, mother of pearl, or mother of pearl and turquoise. They are named for the legendary figure of Eleanor of Aquitaine, the wife of the French emperor Louis VII, and also Henry II of England. Over 70 years she held the throne, showing not only courage in entering military campaigns, but also sensitivity and taste through her support for artists, poets, and musicians.
