Navajo Silver and Turquoise Dangle Earrings [SOLD]

This pair of Navajo-made silver and turquoise earrings is fitted with clips but could easily be converted for pierced ears if desired.  The main item of the earrings is the rectangular silver sheet with four domed turquoise cabs set along its center line.  Three silver dangles drop from the base.  The clip portion of the set has a single stone set as the center piece of the round silver disc.

Southwest Indian Jewelry earrings seem to be one of the more popular of jewelry items and seem to be the least available.  So we are pleased to offer this outstanding Navajo-made pair of earrings.
