This pair of earrings appears to be from the last half of the 20th century.  Each is stamped with a capital R enclosed by a capital D.  I have not yet determined to whom those initials belong.  A long oval and domed beautiful blue turquoise stone with golden copper matrix is set in a silver bezel that is mounted on silver stock scalloped on its edges.  Twisted silver rope encircles the stone.  The earrings are for pierced ears.   Condition: original condition   Provenance: from the collection of a Santa Fe residentThis pair of earrings appears to be from the last half of the 20th century.  Each is stamped with a capital R enclosed by a capital D.  I have not yet determined to whom those initials belong.  A long oval and domed beautiful blue turquoise stone with golden copper matrix is set in a silver bezel that is mounted on silver stock scalloped on its edges.  Twisted silver rope encircles the stone.  The earrings are for pierced ears.
