In Turkish, Mavi means ‘blue’. From the shimmering blue of the Mediterranean Sea to extravagant blue tiled mosques, Turkey is full of every shade of blue you can imagine. The Mavi Studs feature a beautiful blue lapis lazuli stone and bold textural elements; a design intended to capture these inspiring Turkish blues.

*please note, because of the natural quality of the lapis lazuli gemstones, color and texture of each stone may vary.

  • Oxidized brass, sterling silver & lapis lazuli
  • Sterling silver ear posts & nuts
  • Entire back of earring is sterling silver
  • ¾” diameter
  • Designed & handmade in Austin, TX by Claire Sommers Buck.

Turkey stands at the meeting place of east and west. Positioned between Europe and Asia has made it a cultural interface for centuries. While powerful empires dominated the country in the past, today it is a melting pot of modern and traditional influences. This contrast of culture and landscape is what makes Turkey such a unique place. With dreamy blue lapis lazuli gemstones, earthy textures, and contrasting positive and negative shapes, the designs in this collection seek to honor this magnificent country and the many voices that dwell within its borders.

A native Texan, Claire’s affection for handmade goods began at an early age on the wood floors of her parents’ dusty ceramics studio. In 2009, Claire attended Penland School of Crafts where she immediately fell in love with the tools, techniques and functionality of the craft of metalsmithing. A curiosity of ancient world cultures and an enthusiasm for travel continue to impact her work and practice. Yet, as far across the globe Claire wanders, she is always drawn back home to the quiet and calm of the southwest.
