The Magic of the Dahlia Family
Like other stones in the Dahlia collection, Peacock and Starburst are premium composite materials, expertly created by stabilizing natural, high-quality turquoise fragments (often from the Kingman Mine) with resin and vibrant pigments. This process not only guarantees exceptional durability but also allows for the breathtaking, non-traditional color infusions that define these two exceptional gems.
Peacock Dahlia: The Jewel of the Sea and Sky
Peacock Dahlia Turquoise Jewelry lives up to its name, showcasing a mesmerizing blend of deep, opulent color that mimics the iridescent beauty of a peacock’s feather and the intense shades of a deep ocean current.
Color & Matrix
The body color of Peacock Dahlia is typically an electric and rich teal, emerald green, and deep sapphire blue. This core color is dramatically streaked with a prominent matrix, often a stunning combination of gold, brass, or copper metallic veins. The effect is a rich, shimmering swirl that offers a luxurious, multi-dimensional look unlike standard turquoise.
Jewelry Style: Opulent and Bold
Peacock Dahlia is the ideal choice for pieces that aim for high impact and refined drama.
- The Opulent Cuff: Its substantial color lends itself beautifully to wide cuff bracelets. When set in high-polish sterling silver, the metallic matrix catches the light, giving the cuff a regal, powerful presence.
- Statement Cluster Jewelry: In traditional cluster or squash blossom designs, Peacock Dahlia brings a fresh, bold color to a classic silhouette. The gold or copper inclusions harmonize perfectly with the silver work’s detail.
- Modern Elegance: For smaller pieces like dangle earrings or delicate pendants, the deep color ensures the stone remains visible and impactful, pairing effortlessly with sleek, modern apparel.
Starburst Dahlia: A Cosmic Explosion of Color
Starburst Dahlia Turquoise Jewelry is arguably the most dynamic stone in the Dahlia family. Its defining feature is a celestial burst of color that seems to radiate from the stone’s center, truly embodying its namesake’s explosive form.
Color & Matrix
While Starburst Dahlia can come in various hues, the most captivating are those featuring a central, high-contrast matrix that appears to be an explosion of darker material—often black, brown, or red-bronze—against a brighter background. The body color itself often features a captivating blend of complementary or clashing colors, such as bright blue, purple, or even pink, giving it a tie-dye or watercolor appearance. The key is the unique pattern: radiating lines or blotches that create an energetic, star-like effect.
Jewelry Style: Energetic and Unique
Starburst Dahlia is made for the wearer who values individuality and artistic flair.
- Geometric Pendants: Its striking pattern is best showcased in simple shapes like ovals, teardrops, or squares. A minimalist silver setting allows the stone’s inherent dynamism to take center stage, drawing the eye to the central burst.
- Artisan Rings: Starburst Dahlia shines in artisan-crafted, one-of-a-kind rings. Jewelers often use thick, organic sterling silver settings to frame the chaotic beauty of the stone, emphasizing its unique, painted look.
- Complementary Gemstone Pairings: The intricate, multi-hued nature of Starburst makes it a perfect stone to pair with simpler, complementary gems like clear quartz, amethyst, or even plain Kingman Blue turquoise, letting its complex pattern be the ultimate anchor piece.
